Rey,
I assure you I'm not trying to explicitly criticize the efforts of OpenWDDX;
rather, I had hoped this movement would've been under the GPL, that's all.
The GPL is something that many have grown to understand -- this just adds
one more license agreement to decipher and understand, when there's already
a sufficiently intuitive one in existence that is the flagship of
open-source.
