I've noticed some projects use them because they're afraid of the GPLv3... [My depressing story: I tried to recommend that Mesa project upgrade their autotools versions, but one guy (not a major dev) worked at Apple, and apparently Apple pushes its employees who work on free software to refuse to work on anything that uses any GPLv3 tools -- even when there's no legal repercussion to using them (_use_ of the tools isn't affected by GPLv3).] -Miles -- 魔力を持った謎の石仏 苔地蔵様に近づいて _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
