Just a sudden thought: Why do so many developers who are FreeBSD-friendly release code under the GPL? I realised that I had been noticing this lately while I was looking at the technical info pages of the by now well-known ftpsearch engine in Norway - they run their service on FreeBSD CURRENT, which means that they _probably_ also develop on FreeBSD, and yet their code is GPL. Might it not be a good idea to think up ways to educate developers in the free software community about the possible pitfalls of the GPL? -- V Johann Visagie | Email: wjv@CityIP.co.za | Tel: +27 21 419-7878 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
