Good god, here we go again with licensing discussions. Some thoughts. First, licensing is a good thing to talk about when you start a project, or at least decide to propel it into the OSS realm. But once you get there, it's a done deal. Plex86 is LGPL for good reasons, none of which matter now. If I did it again, I'd use LGPL again.
If one steps back a minute and looks at the big picture, it is more obvious that the real issues regarding many of these GPL vs LGPL discussions stem from architectural defects in the software, not the fscking license. Make everything modular by design, give it a "library" license and then you can share it. This of course means you need a common interface. Those are technical issues. But the biggest problem is that us OSS idiots repeatedly reinvent stuff over and over and over. Then squabble when we have trouble sharing code, because of inane licensing issues. "Fail to plan, plan to fail" My suggestion is that if sharing is desired, pursue a common modular plugin interface. -Kevin __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
