> ISC forever! Well, kind of "no" in the present context. While i do personally prefer the ISC license for software that i write myself, i also fully respect James Clark's decision to publish groff under the GPL, and i do acknowledge that the FSF owns groff and is free to define policies for it. So, promoting the ISC license, no matter whether it may or may not be laudable in general, is not a very efficient way to help the groff project, and the list <[email protected]> is arguably not the ideal place for such advocacy. While it is useful to remain aware that it is harder for a core GNU project to gain developers than for an ISC-based project, the task *here* is to bring in developers for groff all the same. Yours, Ingo
