You misread me. I said "of course it does" to his statement that for personal use it isn't needed to release code. This is not FUD at all. Read again. >> That's what's written in the license > > No, it isn't. As long as you keep the changes for yourself (or, FWIW, > the "derived work"), you don't have to distribute it. And that's exactly what I said. It is suitable for personal project. If you work with different projects you can also use GPL if they're very specific to your client. If you have a generic project and reuse it a lot, then it gets more problematic. > What's more: I don't think that an application that is implemented > for a python framework that doesn't force you to include anything > would have to be called a "derived work".

So, we come back to the "linking" and "depending" debate for GPL. > You should pick another reason... ;-) I believe you changed your mind now that you have re-read my post with my intentions explained above. > And as much as I can understand that you don't want to use GPLed > frameworks because you don't want your own code to be GPLed, I > fail to see how the GPL could be "more evil" then a closed source > license... He didn't said more evil. He's worried with the same things I am: distributing your project with whatever license you want to use instead of being forced to use GPL. -- Jorge Godoy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
