Hi, >I'm (still) against binary runtime modules for FlightGear.
And I respect that. >We offer more possibilities than X-plane and MSFS and all the others >put together -- by letting people look at/modify/redistribute our >source code. For free. That's very generous, if you ask me. Yes, that is extremely generous. In fact, this allows me to implement the generic plug-in interface and distribute the modified FlightGear along with my binary runtime modules that are all under GPL. >That linking non-GPL modules would be illegal, anyway, doesn't make >the situation any better.

We shouldn't encourage corporate >entities to rip us off. In my opinion not all commercial entities are trying to rip off open-source software. Both commercial entities and GPL software can benefit from each other if they are all fair. Which is not always true, I know. :-( Best Regards, Petr ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
