Would it be possible to dual-license the libs under BSD and GPLv2 licenses as well? I ask because many projects in the Unix world apart from Linux would benefit from libtr, and due to licensing concerns they restrict their permittable pkgs to closed-source compatible projects, but make a small exception for some GPL licensed core apps like binutils, gcc, etc. Thanks! -Garrett ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Ltp-list mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ltp-list
