The difference may be that any bit of script may be taken by yahoo for commercial exploitation for free
and without recourse to legal action in case they would want to take it back. As they say, you grant yahoo
the royalty-free.... bla bla bla...
This is not the case with GPL or SourceForge. if Im correct.
Also Im pretty sure we dont have the grant or warrant from the owner that they do so...
Correct me if im wrong...
