Good point. 100% GPL is as inaccurate as 100% copyleft which people pointed out earlier. As you said, sharism.cc is outdated, it's on my todo list to clean it up, especially once we introduce our second product into the shop, Milkymist One. I will basically cut down sharism.cc to just a bare bones shop, plus company blog. My focus right now is on qi-hardware, so the shop lags a little :-) Thanks for pointing out the "100% gpl" inaccuracy. In reality there are LGPL, BSD, Apache and other licenses in the mix as well. Maybe it should say "100% free software", although I start to become a bit wary about this 100% stuff. It has a totalitarian touch that seems like an intellectual shortcoming given that there is always another meta-level you can look at... (and why should you not?) I'll keep in mind to remove 100% anything on the next update, and come up with nicer and more reflective ways to describe what's good and special about our products.
