2008/9/29 Bit Connor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: [..] Basically it seems to me that you believe in the benevolence and enligtenment of companies. Something I don't. I believe you are right in splitting the LGPL into two different objectives, and you are right in saying that I really only care about getting changes back.

Yes, they clearly didn't get it in the beginning, but now there seems to be a vibrant community around Webkit. Just as a point of comparison, did they do any better (in the beginning) with the BSD licensed code they use? I sure haven't heard anything along those lines anyways. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe
