May be I was bit incoherent but what I meant is that given a dual-licensed code, most companies would prefer to use (use != release) permissive license over GPL. GPL code usage can be higher because of Linux kernel and GNU compiler collection. >The advantage in that BSD is a very simple license >and compatible with more licenses than Apache license is (Apache is >incompatible with GPLv2 for instance). In other words, whether a >license is better or not depends on the goals. Thanks for correcting me on this one. I remember reading this advantage of BSD long back but forgot to take this into consideration. I will correct the post to say a comparison between apache and BSD (and will remove the remark that Apache is better) Ashish Bhatia http://ashishb.net _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
