Not true. OpenSSL is *very* hurt by this as their code cannot be used in any GPL application, without a special licensing. GNUtls does not suffer from this, but it is not as featureful as OpenSSL yet. > I personally tend toward BSD licenses because GPL licenses kinda suck > when abandoned code is involved. Howso? I can see problems where you want to *change* the license, or if you want to appropriate the code in your own, prorietary (read: non open and free) project. Short of those two situations, what problems have you experienced? -john -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
