IMHO it doesn't work. Both only succeeded because they had some buzz, not because of their licensing. It is more that they survived DESPITE their licensing. See e.g. we never seriously made a lot of work about adopting CLX. > - community projects are GPL or LGPL depending if they are libraries or > programs > - code developed by public funds (academic etc.) gets BSD I think all code that is not really in danger of hostile takeover can better be BSD. The extra protection of (L)GPL is not going deliver anything, and maybe the looser licensing yield some extra contributors. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - [email protected] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
