You and I have corresponded privately about this. Again, i understand it's not 100% compatible with FSF philosophy... This is not about philosophy. We want our users to be able to download programs from Google Code and be assured that they are Open Source in the very specific, trademarked meaning of that term. Allowing projects that do not fit that definition puts our users in harm's way. Your project seems really cool, and I hope you'll reconsider. Was the problem that people were selling derivative works of your code but still complying with the GPL? If so, couldn't you use their source code to incorporate their changes into your free version? -- Lucas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Project Hosting on Google Code" group.
