The OSI has repeatedly shot itself in the foot with approvals for all sorts of jailed licences. eg. the Sun Solaris licence. However FOSSCOM should not in principle have a problem with any licence which is GPL compatible. Having said that, one may do well to note that BSDlike licences tend to be grossly misused by the usual suspects, resulting in enormous problems for all FOSS users. Incase of egovernance (or even other non trivial) software this should be strictly avoided. -- Rgds JTD _______________________________________________ network mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fosscom.in/listinfo.cgi/network-fosscom.in
