I say just go for the LGPL on the whole thing, anyway. The code which we should be protecting with the GPL is a _very_ small portion, easily rewritten from scratch by anyone who doesn't like the GPL, and I don't think it's worth the headache of having multiple licenses. > -- > > Steve Fox > IBM Linux Technology Center > http://www.ibm.com/linux/ltc > http://k-lug.org > -Jay 'Eraserhead' Felice _______________________________________________ This is the Linux 5250 Development Project (LINUX5250) mailing list To post a message email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/cgi-bin/listinfo/linux5250 or email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/linux5250.
