Sort of ancillary to this discussion but as point of fact: GPL was designed to keep software free, away from people who would close it and then sell it. The "Changing the license is hard" with the GPL is very intentional and not entirely a negative point. It prevents someone from changing it 3 years later and making it not-free. If you read any of Richard Stallman the above comes through loud and clear everytime he talks, and like everybody else here, IANAL but that's common Stallman rhetoric. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
