Re: [Fwd: ] The inquiry about EFF
Hi, I think the idea of inquiring about the EFF licences to be a good one but I hardly think this email is well written. Are you a native speaker of English? toredhiddenuser@ seem a troll. I dropped its CC. You'r right, it's not native English.

[Fwd: ] The inquiry about EFF
Original Message Subject: From:toredhiddenu...@tormail.net Date:Tue, April 10, 2012 1:53 pm To: i...@eff.org -- To Sir/Madam, Why are most/all software of EFF licensed under the GPL? EFF is not FSF, right? Excuse, but, are you promoting information/speech freedom or Stallmanism? Is EFF inclined towards copyleft parties or is it neutral? Excuse again, but do you think people who use BSD licenses are idiots? Google, FreeBSD, etc. If you change the license of software to BSD-like one (or MPL-like, at least) or at least all Chrome plugins, BSD community will be much happy.

Thank you I think the idea of inquiring about the EFF licences to be a good one but I hardly think this email is well written. Are you a native speaker of English? The tone of the email sounds accusatory and rant-like. Perhaps something like Why are most/all software of EFF licensed under the GPL? The GPL's restrictions preclude a large number of users from freely using the software. For example the FreeBSD Project is actively phasing out the use of GPL like restrictions and Google prefers the use the 2-BSD license. Would it be possible to change the license of __(specific software)__ to a BSD-like (or even the Apache license)? Or something of a similar nature would be a nicer way to put it. -- Eitan Adler ___ freebsd-advocacy@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-advocacy To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-advocacy-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
