True, it looks like but it isnt. Let me explain. The community fragmentation is *not only* the license, it is mainly because of point 1. Point 2 is refered to people that won't code on eina and for people that *hears* raster to make a decision by themselves. Is not that contradictory, happens that those points are related to two different groups of ppl. I have never stated that making a project licensed under lgpl will make it have more developers or being it bsd it will have less coders at all, i have said that it can't be confirmed. What i have stated is that *i* don't want my code to be freely available to companies that won't follow the same openness on the code, that's it. it wont alter the POV for specific developers that want to code to open source projects, just alters those developers that don't want their code to be restricted on its use by companies that won't release the code. > > Mike > dancingeek > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge > Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes > Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world > http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ > _______________________________________________ > enlightenment-devel mailing list > enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
