I don't understand that. Please give some help. The situation: * Some package A is importing an library with some interface I * Some other package B provides an library with some interface I The author of B can decide who may import an certain interface, just because he wrote an lib providing this interface ? Where does his legitimation come from ? Copyright ? -> where's his code here ? Patents ? -> are they legal ? If this would be true, then evryone who's writing some proprietary library can prohibit writing drop-in-replacements. So I wonder why so many of them exist, obviously legal. Where's my mistake ? cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- [email protected] mailing list
