This is kinda important to me as well. I am finishing up a SSE2 port of Eterm's shading routines and wanted to use the GPL license for them. I didn't even realize that E/Eterm uses the BSD license. I would prefer the code stay open with the GPL but if MeJ insists then I suppose the BSD license will have to do. It's his baby after all. I just like things to go fast! ;-) -- Tres ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games.
