Thanks. I know it can seem that way but I guess it comes down to what I want to build and how the derivative will help. It would almost reverse engineer half of the project through common sense if I released the source of this one library, otherwise I wouldn't really come out of the shadows and ask. Releasing code and acknowledgements should be a personal choice not an enforced one. Some proprietary software makes more sense than others to do this. So another thing is about flexibility. I just can't release derivative code. LuaJit it is. I will check back again now and then on the status of TinyCC; it has been a favorite of mine for a couple of years now. And by favorite, I mean tinker around with it in my own lab, because it wasn't going anywhere else sadly.

Because bsd license I believe would be 100x healthier for the project. People would absolutely contribute back, but in a de-identified way. I Absolutely believe this. fwiw, i Public Domain and/or MIT all my sources. i'm not a fan of viral licenses (and avoid the GPL like the plague), but i have never experienced that the LGPL has been a real hindrance to a library's use (as opposed to imagined, when people misunderstand it to be viral to their code). i.e. i think you're over-reacting to it being LGPL. (If it were GPL, i'd be in full agreement with you.) -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ http://gplus.to/sgbeal "Freedom is sloppy.
