Dear Sandro, We (Eclipse Foundation -LocationTech) are 'not against it' ! I repeat; not against........did I mention 'not'?
GPL is approved by OSI, just like the EPL. We are on the same team. The word 'against' suggests we are at odds with each other over this. Which we are not, never have been and never will be. Our members (businesses, academia, NGO's) work with/on projects that incorporate various licenses. Individual choices depend on 'the right tools for the job'. Developers work on projects and in communities that encompass a wide spectrum of licenses. End-users (the ones that fund so many of open spatial projects) determine and decide which tools will suit their purposes. And they love our community's versatility to meet their demands. Thus furthering the overall success of open spatial IT in the world. The present full spectrum of projects provides a compelling, comprehensive storyline as is demonstrated by an increasing number of implementations. Worldwide, across industry verticals, profits, non-profits, etc etc. Hope this clarifies and let's together move forward!
