Some of the core devs had an (off-list) discussion about this back at the time. The summary is: - we all agree it is unfortunate that the license for all the sources isn't identical; that was already (minorly) true before my changes. - a couple of us are not willing to license under "or any later version". - no one really has any objection to a hypothetical OpenSSL exception. As per <http://svn.gnucash.org/trac/changeset/16254>: I've summarized the state of the LICENSEing at the top of the file. I've added specific text for the "OpenSSL exception" as derived from <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Openssl#The_exception>. I've added this text to files I have copyright on that do not include the "or any later version" text. -- ...jsled http://asynchronous.org/ - a=jsled; b=asynchronous.org; echo [EMAIL PROTECTED]
