"Not giving you stuff" is not stifling your freedom. >They're free only up to the point when a dev decides to turn the code >into a proprietary product... At which point there are two products: the code under the original license, and the new code under a new license. >something that can't be done with GPL. Bullshit. Whoever holds the copyright can change the license, and they can just as easily say "release 2 is not under GPL." Relicensing is not theft, and the possibility of someone taking BSD/MIT-licensed code and relicensing it is no loss at all. The original code is still there. No freedom has been impinged. -- # Kurt H Maier
