With crypto code, we have taken the view that it should BSD 2 clause. The reason for this is that crypto code has enough other baggage, and corporates are often the prime users. These users are often scared very easily by complex licences. We'd tended to vacilate somewhat with applications, between various Mozilla/Sun community models, but with the underlying crypto, always as free as possible. If you wanted to be in the GPL community, then LGPL. GPL itself will infect any apps, so unless you have a really great belief that you want those users and no others, stick to LGPL. Mind you, those have been our experiences. It's quite plausible that we'd have attracted a bigger developer base simply by going GPL. iang --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
