Well, Migs, wouldn't that actually make code a lot *less* reusable for everyone instead of more? Perhaps a compromise like the LGPL would be a better system. The *library* must always remain open, but the code linking to it may not necessarily be so (as would the GPL). The Apache or the MIT/X Consortium license doesn't give this assurance at all, allowing code to disappear into any number of proprietary black holes. -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
