It seems that we are no nearer the FSF dropping it's unreasonable objection to GPL intermixing with other licensed software (including Apache). This is a real tragedy. For Jesktop I am using a multitude of licenses. The interfaces are BSD, the implementation is Apache. Hosted apps can be anything, GPL, Apache, "Free" without license, all because the BSD interfaces are compatible with Apache (what OSI approved license isn't) and GPL (bugger all is). I was hoping that GPL may become compatible with with Apache license (it was promised for this summer), in which case I was going to turn the interfaces into Apache license, making Jesktop 100% Apache. Sigh... not to be. Incidentally, whilst porting apps I have noticed a few GPL infractions. Jext is one. It is GPL, yet imports Skin Look and Feel (which uses an Apache license clone) == not allowed. Should I tell these guys, or turn a blind eye? Ho hum. Regards, - Paul H ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
