I don't mean to be inflamatory, but if the GPL upsets you this much, wouldn't the most effective way to oppose it be to take the time and make the effort to carefully create a new and detailed license focused on your own particular goals, then make this license widely available to the general public? I honestly don't think any amount of posting of this type will have any effect on the GPL one way or the other. It will simply continue to stir up arguments and earn you a public label that I doubt you would want to have. I've posted an article as to my own thoughts on software licensing, which is available at : http://www.o-o.org/~licia/writing/articles/licensing.html The article includes some commentary on creating a new license that may be useful. :) [ licia@o-o.org ] [ http://www.o-o.org/~licia/ ] [ Alias : Ladywolf] [ Telnet to o-o.org and log in as bbs ] [ ssh -l bbs -C o-o.org ] [ A happy user of FreeBSD : http://www.freebsd.org/ ] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
