[TurboGears] Re: What licenses are all pieces of TurboGears under? Are all GPL compatible?

We can't force any of those projects to adopt MIT and please dont create another license.

If I'm not mistaken the idea behind MIT license is that you can do whatever you like with it, therefore you can code your app (your TG app) and don't distribute your source if you don't want too.

If you didn't knew that if your code is GNU and someone wants a copy of it you must release the sources, take a look at what happen with WRT54G, linksys made it's code linux based and they force them to release it, they had lots of firmwares for it to the point that they took it out of production and then made it more expensive, if it comes with linux.

Yes I saw these and most licenses are GPL compatible.  This is not

with Kit, CherryPy and ElementTree because they made up their own
licenses.  I would
guess they just reworded an MIT license but not sure.

Is there any wisdom for marketing reasons to license everything under
yet another
MIT license clone called the "TurboGears license"?  Or, put everything
under MIT license
if allowed with all copyright banners for all pieces included?
