The Spread license is very similar to the Apache 1.1 license, which can be summarized as "BSD + advertising clause," so it isn't GPL compatible. This probably isn't an issue, as the Mono class libraries are MIT/X11, and thus could safely use the Spread code, though it would make distribution and advertising very annoying and would prevent System.Messaging from being Free software.... > Or we could use the D-BUS (of Project Utopia? > http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/dbus)... If that lic fits. D-BUS is dual-licensed under the Academic Free License and GPL 2, so it avoids any advertising issues. (This is from dbus-0.21.tar.gz.) However, last I knew D-BUS only works locally, and not across hosts, which makes it of limited use for a general System.Messaging architecture. Furthermore, it's limited to Unix systems (IIRC), which would limit portability to Windows. - Jon _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
