I dunno.. I'm slowly giving up on the JED. I myself prefer to use a mix of licenses..... in fact the license I use MOST often is Public Domain and I really resent having to put a GPL wrapper around code I have offered to the public domain just to satisfy some license fanatic's idea of what is correct. My second preference is a Creative Commons variant. Creative Commons, Attribution being the first one on my list for preferences. Technically GPL is /supposed/ to be attributed, but quite often they drop it or bury it[see the Joomla project itself that demands all attributions be stripped from the code and just a reference placed in the contributors file for everything]. As an example of this, technically you could not submit /anything/ for inclusion with Joomla core code using Jquery since they as that "You don’t have to do anything special to choose one license or the other and you don’t have to notify anyone which license you are using. You are free to use a jQuery project in commercial projects as long as the copyright header is left intact." http://jquery.org/license Since the Joomla team specifically instructs people to strip that header - which to me is a form of theft and I have found actively encouraged by the GPL community at large. Sometimes I go with Creative Commons, Attribution, No Derivatives - the point of this code being when I have something that is a little 'wonky' and I don't want someone taking my code, bundling it into something else, and then get angry emails from someone downstream when something breaks[note: I don't consider it 'distribution' for someone to download and install my code on someone else's website..... that's doing work as contracted.... distribution is when you add it to your zipfile and then let people download it]. Now, naturally this does mean that to do this, I have to be scrupulous clean about writing every line myself and not copying from some example file where there is a GPL license floating around[after all, that is the point of COPY right...to prevent or restrict copying]. Oh well...hope my initial sentence helps you out. :-) -Gary
