That may be true, I realize that all sorts of licenses are compatible with the GPL. I don't have any problems with MIT licenses. The problem here is that we shouldn't be mixing licences in the CW source code because: 1) It's just confusing, especially if you are trying to combine CW with some other software that has some other license - now you have twice the work to do trying to figure out if you're still legal. 2) It sets a bad prececent - if we allow non-GPL code one time someone will come along and ask to include code with some other license. 3) While I don't believe that the decision was ever made explicitly, I had thought that all CW code was supposed to be available solely under the GPL - isn't that part of the reason we're here in the first place?
