I also hate licensing issues really and I also sometimes tend to say "I don't care". But I just wanted to mention it in case someone is really considering taking your library for a big commercial application, however I don't believe that this might be the case on Amiga anymore ;) Licensing is really a mystical issue where 1000 people tend to have 10000 opinions :) For me and YAM its fine to take codesets.library, I just require a proper project page with the sources hosted in a public CVS. >> And BTW.

For using it in YAM I would say it is required, because I want to have the sources in a public CVS for making it more easily to adapt its sources quickly without having to send diff files around and waiting for you to make another public release. sf.net provides a fine and nice platform for such collabarative projects and I would love to see codesets.library in such a sf.net project with a public CVS (I might assist you in setting up the project, if required). Its just that I "require" it for being more flexible in required future changes to it and to make it more easy to prepare new releases by someone else than you (in case you are not reachable for example) cheers, jens BTW: The same stands for your "TheBar.mcc". I also already thought about introducing support for it into YAM, but I refused to do so because it is closed source and I tend to only use components in YAM which are open source, if possible. That's why YAM is still using Toolbar.mcc. Any chance to see your TheBar.mcc released as LGPL, as well? cheers, jens -- Jens Langner Ph: +49-351-4716545 Rißweg 27b 01324 Dresden [EMAIL PROTECTED] Germany http://www.jens-langner.de/ ------------------------ Yahoo!
