The NLTK mailing list might be a good place. http://nltk.sourceforge.net > Ultimately I desire two things from the license (but not limited to): > - being able to distribute it freely, anybody can modify it > - nobody is allowed to make profit from my code (other than myself) Well, this is vague. Do you want no one else to *distribute* your code or derivatives thereof for profit? or do you want no one else to be able to *use* the code for profit-making activities? Either way, it's kind of rude and unproductive to ask people to spend their unpaid time to review, critique, and test your code when only you can make a profit from it. I highly recommend looking at the GPL. Many of the people whom you may want to not distribute your code for profit will probably be reluctant to use GPLed code. As a bonus, if they do, they will have to contribute their changes back to the community under the GPL, too, so you can incorporate them into your own code base. -- Robert Kern [EMAIL PROTECTED] "In the fields of hell where the grass grows high Are the graves of dreams allowed to die." -- Richard Harter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
