Note that the deciding factor is the bundling. Just running CFML code on OpenBD does not mean it needs to be GPL. But as Alan said, we're working through changing the license to keep intact the true open source spirit associated with the GPL, while allowing you to bundle your CFML code and not have to have it also be GPLd. We'll have more details as we make concrete decisions on this. -- Matthew Woodward [email protected] http://blog.mattwoodward.com identi.ca/Twitter: @mpwoodward Please do not send me proprietary file formats such as Word, PowerPoint, etc. as attachments. http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html -- Open BlueDragon Public Mailing List http://www.openbluedragon.org/ http://twitter.com/OpenBlueDragon mailing list - http://groups.google.com/group/openbd?hl=en !! save a network - please trim replies before posting !!
