LGPL - no. No, I'm not spreading FUD. I commented if the LGPL had spread to cover the BSD licensed parts. Gustavo agreed it did, then said later that a lawyer taught him that it does, and he even said in his original commit that it did. You can call it what you want, I'd call it "viral", and it's not FUD to call it that. Gustavo seems to think it spread it's influence, the lawyer he mentions seems to think so to, but Gustavo thinks using the word "virus" is FUD. I call a spade a spade, it spread like a virus. It's a legal problem, lawyers might know what they are talking about. We programmers can argue all we like, the only definitive answer is for a judge to make in a court of law. Let's all just agree to disagree, until a court informs us otherwise. -- A big old stinking pile of genius that no one wants coz there are too many silver coated monkeys in the world.
