No, it does not, because commercial products will not USE the code. The GPL prevents them from putting it into a commercial product. They'll have to reimplement, which means -- guess what? -- unreviewed code. The LGPL is now deprecated; no new "GNU" software will be released under that license anymore. This is because Stallman, drunk with the success of Linux, feels that he can now impose his anti-commercial agenda on the world (sigh). I think that there's a pretty good chance that BSD-licensed code will be used as-is. If it ain't broke, they won't fix it. --Brett "For every action there is an equal and opposite government program." --Bob Wells To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
