I've learned a lot about the licences reading these mails, and it seems that the fact is not "such licence is a hindrance" but "such licence can give us developpers". That's different. So, from what i've understood, wrt companies : 1) either with stay with BSD, and only the companies that accept to work with code licenced under BSD would eventually share code with us 2) either we switch to, for example LGPL, or other similar licence (I was told that MPL is not that bad), and then companies that accept to share code with LGPL AND BSD licenced code would eventually help us. The difference can be great. So if we want to have more than 5 devs on the core efl, we should seriously discuss about which licence to use. regards Vincent ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
