Read Eric Raymond's "The Cathedral and The Bazaar" - it provides great insight into the open source community and the thinking behind various open source licenses and the various sub-communities' views on "sharing" and "contributing". It's a really good read. There are good reasons for picking each specific license - and trade offs too. A discussion of open source licenses would be a good topic for the opencfsummit.org conference! -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN Railo Technologies, Inc. -- http://getrailo.com/ An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood -- Open BlueDragon Public Mailing List http://www.openbluedragon.org/ http://twitter.com/OpenBlueDragon official manual: http://www.openbluedragon.org/manual/ Ready2Run CFML http://www.openbluedragon.org/openbdjam/ mailing list - http://groups.google.com/group/openbd?hl=en
