I'd rather have the flexibility to choose my own language and my own license.

Just because we have different points of view on a topic you're going to discriminate against me? I am very active on this list, the mozillazine extensions forum, and the mozillazine knowledge base wiki, and have been for well over a year. By now people know I'm a decent person, don't make any money from my extensions, and only do the work I do to "give back" to the open-source community from which I've taken so much. To suggest that my point of view on open-source licensing is anything but good-natured is offensive. _______________________________________________ Project_owners mailing list [email protected] http://mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/project_owners
