Hi Tio Bob, I have to admit I have gotten tired of Google, little things over the years, evil here, evil there... China... comments like the following. ,-----[ Google rejects GPL in new gPhone alliance ] | REF: http://blogs.zdnet.com/Burnette/?p=4a28 | | Why did you pick the Apache v2 open source license? | Apache is a commercial-friendly open-source license. The Apache license | allows manufacturers and mobile operators to innovate using the | platform without the requirement to contribute those innovations back | to the open-source community. Because these innovations and | differentiated features can be kept proprietary, manufacturers and | mobile operators are protected from the “viral infection” problem often | associated with other licenses. `------------------------------------------------ "Google-ing" Bhaa! Any company with a crazy fluke stock like Google's has to be evil. -- Guillermo Antonio Amaral Bastidas (gamaral) Free/Libre/Open-Source Software Advocate & KDE Developer http://blog.guillermoamaral.com/
