libpurple license question
Hi, We are evaluating libpurple for an application we are developing here at Goldman Sachs. We like libpurple and would like to use it for our app, but its GPL licensing presents challenge with our firm's policy. We'd like to find out if there is any alternative licensing you can offer for the product? If this is not the right email group to pose the question, could you please direct us to the right person for this inquiry? Thanks in advance for your help. Thanks, Aileen ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe? Use this link: http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support

There are several copyright owners who are unwilling to agree to a license change. Even if that weren't the case, the number of copyright owners makes it impractical to attempt re-licensing. -D ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
