I thought the point was simple. The GPL requires that you release the sources, but it doesn't say you need to provide the Makefiles and/or configure scripts. Providing something to the community that is not easy to build is not a service to them in any way, IMO. This is not to do with the license, any license could provide the same. These actions are not "true to the spirit". -- Alan DuBoff - Sun Microsystems Solaris x86 Engineering _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
