that's not aflaw in the GPL, only a flaw in the business model. the GPL can't do anything by itself to make your business better. what is remarkable here is that RMS seems to accept that proprietary licensing can be necesary to finance the development of GPL software. personally i can see it as useful, but not necesary,there are other business models too, and from a community perspective i found that this model makes it much harder for the community to contribute because all code needs to be licenced by the company so they can resell it. greetings, martin. -- cooperative communication with sTeam - caudium, pike, roxen and unix searching contract jobs: programming, training and administration - anywhere -- pike programmer working in china community.gotpike.org foresight developer foresightlinux.org open-steam.org unix sysadmin iaeste.(tuwien.ac|or).at caudium.org Martin Bähr http://www.iaeste.or.at/~mbaehr/ is.schon.org _______________________________________________ LUGS Mailing list - [email protected] List FAQ: http://wiki.lugs.org.sg/LugsMailingListFaq Info page: http://www.lugs.org.sg/mailman/listinfo/slugnet To unsubscribe send an empty email to: [email protected]
