Clarification: Bering is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL), and would be described by FSF people as GPL-covered software. It is not a GNU program, or GNU software. Bering has not been contributed to the FSF. http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/categories.html GPL-covered software The GNU GPL (General Public License) (20k characters) is one specific set of distribution terms for copylefting a program. The GNU Project uses it as the distribution terms for most GNU software. GNU programs ``GNU programs'' is equivalent to GNU software. A program Foo is a GNU program if it is GNU software. GNU software GNU software is software that is released under the auspices of the GNU Project. Most GNU software is copylefted, but not all; however, all GNU software must be free software. If a program is GNU software, we also say that it is a GNU program. Some GNU software is written by staff of the Free Software Foundation, but most GNU software is contributed by volunteers. Some contributed software is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation; some is copyrighted by the contributors who wrote it. It is doubtful that any of our releases meet GNU Coding Standards at this time. GNU Coding Standards http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards_toc.html However, Bering does comply with GPL licensing. -- Mike Noyes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://sourceforge.net/users/mhnoyes/ http://leaf-project.org/ ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
