Actually I'm already giving by not demanding we stick with GPL because
it is by far my strongest choice. If the license isn't going to be
copyleft, then this isn't worth the effort because even if you can get
ME to put my code under a BSD license, you still have to convince the
other 3 main developers, and then convince all the other developers
who have been busy contributing their code as GPL.

Yes, we are. I'm all ears for a way to make everyone happy but I'm
just not seeing it.

Don't go saying my statements are innaccurate, they are entirely
accurate and you know it. It's just inconvenient for me to phrase it
the way I did so you'd prefer to throw some popularity numbers for
WIndows around. Have fun with your exclusive MS customers only
policies.

Are things like that too hard for you? Even I, hater of all MSBUILD
related files have learned to update the csproj and whatnot, and even
for those non-VS developers who are just too lazy (after all, Nant
requires no updating when you add source files) SharpOS has  'nant
vsupdate' which does the update for you. Keep in mind I do not own a
copy of VS nor do I intend to purchase one, NOR use a crippled free
version. Bah, my bet is that Cosmos is never going to open up it's
build environment. Mono supports C# 3.0 right now, -std:linqversion or
something, so maybe put your money where your mouth is and just *do*
it, and not keep talking about it like its on your TODO list?

After all, you seem to be so interested in facilitating development of
your legos, it seems only appropriate that you'd want to get your
small plastic bricks into more hands so there will be more bricks to
go around, right? Or are the oil prices squeezing your plastic supply
and putting a damper on your toy production.
