There are cases where there's not the slightest chance of someone using my code if it's GPLed, and I (or more likely my employer, which is a University) have to decide whether it's better that they use my code (under a different licence) or someone else's. In that case, we might well license it to them for a fee which will (in theory) support our own further development. -- Richard _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
