Iata de ce GPL e mai bun ca alte licente similare (LGPL, Mozilla, Apache): http://linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2001-02-24-007-20-OS-MS Extras din articol: Microsoft is upset because it sees software that is GPLed that is better than their own, and they are not allowed to steal it and proprietize it because of the GPL. They look at the millions and millions of dollars they've spent on Win32 API development, and wonder why it isn't better than code written freely by volunteers. They just don't get it. De asemenea, articolul contine o lamurire importanta asupra unei particularitati a licentei GPL: atunci cind modifici codul aflat sub GPL, rezultatul nu cade automat sub GPL pina cind nu-l publici. Cu alte cuvinte, poti lua cod GPL si sa-l modifici cit vrei, cita vreme il folosesti numai tu. In clipa cind vrei sa-l dai si la altii, automat trebuie sa dai si sursa, si totul cade sub licenta GPL. Aceasta nu e adevarat pentru celelalte licente (LGPL, Mozilla license, etc.), care sint mai "relaxate". Sper sa va foloseasca. -- Florin Andrei --- Send e-mail to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' with 'unsubscribe rlug' to unsubscribe from this list.
