Yes, that seems like a good idea; a license that explicitly allows the examples (and the test code?) to be used as a basis for user works without triggering the GPL might be useful to allow people to get started on their projects. _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
