Pros & Cons, not particularly. Stromian Technologies (http://www.stromian.com/) has a good licensing overview. Likewise the FSF's licensing comparison page, which notes whether or not licenses meet the FSF free software definition, and/or are compatible with the GNU GPL: http://www.fsf.org/licenses/license-list.html There's a table similar to one of the Stromian docs in _Open Sources_, available online from O'Reilly. The usual focus of license analysis is what the aims of the license are. I used a "fear and greed" model -- noting largely that virtually every free software license has a disclaimer of warrantee and liability, and that most are intended for specific goals. I find this a useful way to approach a discussion. Peace. -- Karsten M. Self <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://kmself.home.netcom.com/ What Part of "Gestalt" don't you understand?
