I've released a lot of code (Boost, ASL and others) under the BSL (hrm, need more acronyms), and haven't had any problems nor complaints. If there's anything left in crypto++ that I have committed, you have my permission to relicense it under the BSL (not that you need it) -- Marshall Marshall Clow Idio Software <mailto:[email protected]> A.D. 1517: Martin Luther nails his 95 Theses to the church door and is promptly moderated down to (-1, Flamebait). -- Yu Suzuki -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "Crypto++ Users" Google Group.
