Hello, > is there anything wrong about that ? should all software be only GPL > / LGPL ? Is MIT X11 non free software like other commercial license. > is MIT license taking away your code from you without your consent ? Well, the MIT license surely does provide us with all the freedom, but that's not the only thing what a free software license should do. It must also protect our rights at the same time. A program released under the MIT license can be sublicensed into any proprietary license and thus put inside non-free softwares too. This is not what ideally a free software should allow. A software that is born free must make sure that it remains free throughout its life cycle otherwise it's just a waste. More knowledgeable people on the list, please correct me if I am wrong. And for the same reason, we should support the DotGNU project because it protects our rights and with Mono, we never know when the code written by you is sold to a company under a proprietary license and one day, may be you'd need to buy back your own code from them. Just my personal opinion. Regards, -bg-
