I think the latter statement is worth being questioned.
Let's be honest: No matter which license you're going to attach to
FlightGear, there will always be some unhappy fellow, finding a reason
for not contributing to the project. But do you really think this is
going to change if we're choosing a more restrictive license ? No, in
the end we're going to shoot our own feet because it'll be the
restrictive licensing which is going to hinder the spreading and, in
consequence, the growth of the project.
Until now well over 100 people have been contributing to the project in
some form, all of them agreeing to the current license.
Have fun,
Martin.
