define 'lot'. Judging by pure numbers /maybe/ GPL projects are lesser than those licensed under a <sarcasm>more free</sarcasm> license but judging by the *rate* of improvement GPL projects tend to move much more faster (which proves what I said about the engineering suitability of the GPL too). -- Of course you have to compare apples to apples (eg: Linux to *BSD) not apples to oranges (eg: Python to Linux). cheers, - steve -- random spiel: http://lonetwin.net/ what i'm stumbling into: http://lonetwin.stumbleupon.com/ -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
