If I where doing it I would probably mandate all new code be under a BSD or MIT Licence (or Public Domain etc.) before commit. I'm not a big fan of the GPL because it has too many restrictions, the LGPL is much better but BSD and MIT are the best. And yea I think RMS would be screaming if all the BSD tools where ported to Linux, everyone may want to use are tool set because of it's unencumbered and engineered (as a set) nature. How much code in FreeBSD is GPL, anyone know? _______________________________________________ freebsd-chat@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-chat To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
