Having seen how unbelievably long lawsuits can be drawn out (even in the absence of any evidence), a license that is clear enough that it never needs to be examined by a judge is as good as it gets IMHO. Anyway, there's no "FUD" involved here, it's a *joint* press release by both parties involved, simply describing what they decided to do about perceived GPL violations. regards Geza -- Geza Giedke Max-Planck Institut fuer Quantenoptik, Garching _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
