Greetings Seb, I would sincerely like to understand your viewpoint. I think that until I can re-state your viewpoint, to your satisfaction, but in my own words, true communication and understanding has not been accomplished.
What I am trying to say is-- even if we don't agree, or have opposite viewpoints, I think it is important that we make certain that we actually understand the other persons viewpoint. So, now back to what you've written. You've identified the need for a well-known, well-defined license to be attached to the jallib. This is commendable. But I am confused by the seemingly contradictory statements you've made recently, and so I hope you'll be willing to help me understand your views accurately. I will attempt to restate your views here: 1. You went to OSI to find a template-- a well-known authoritative site. Good. 2. An author such as yourself should certainly be able to pick whichever template fits his purpose the best. Good. 3. You chose the most restrictive version of the BSD license, rather than the "simplified one". Why? Your answer to this may help me understand your viewpoint better. 4. Even though you chose the most restrictive BSD license, you have indicated in the message here on his mailing list, that you would be "OK" with people who distribute their pre-programmed picmicro chips without any credits. And you've said that the result is the same as using a zlib license. 5. I've not found anywhere that you actually discuss in detail what your objection to the zlib license actually is, other than "I don't like it", which doesn't help me understand your viewpoint. I look forward to gaining a better understanding of your viewpoint, and, ultimately, seeing a resolution to this licensing issue. Thank you for your consideration, William On Nov 10, 4:35 am, "Sebastien Lelong" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi guys, > > So, did you make your choice about the license ?
