I agree. I am not asking everyone to switch to BSD-style licenses; but rather refrain from eliminating a BSD-style license as an option. BSD-style licenses are required to keep "balance" in the software world. Anything is excess is bad, and in a world where "good" is a relative term, it is not tough to interpret FSF's actions as monopolistic. Basically you could say that the FSF is the Microsoft of the other side :) -- Anant _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
