Thank you very much for the apologies. However, I'm afraid I've already applied for and been accepted by BerliOS Developer, for the Tenet project. Would you please cancel my application at Savannah.

For your interest, the exception is a consequence of a difference between the C and Ada programming languages. Ada has a mechanism for re-use called "generic instantiation" (which C doesn't); this form of re-use is comparable to that of linking a pre-compiled library object (but it is not the same as linking). The LGPL, as currently worded, states that linking a library does not infect the result, but it does not explicitly state (nor does it seem to imply) the same for generic instantiation. It is my desire to permit generic instantiation of Tenet units without infection, but the LGPL is not suitable for this purpose. Therefore, I would prefer to use the GPL with the same special exception that the source code for the GNU New York University Ada Translator (GNAT) -- part of the GNU Compiler Collection -- uses. -- Nick Roberts Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [ICQ: 159718630] _______________________________________________ Savannah-hackers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/savannah-hackers
