BvG, I am not a license expert, I've studied them in brief. So take this email more like a personal opinion than a factual report. I know you'd prefer a factual thing but I am in no position to give it to you. David has more info on this I bet.
GPL - if it touches it then it needs to be FOSS. It is a viral license since everything that touches it must also be GPL, by touch understand link, if it links (in the compiler sense) then it needs to be GPL, so I don't think it is a good license for Revolution since I don't know how the interaction of the standalone builder using closed technology conflicts with the link part. BSD - my favorite license, it is free for you to do whatever you want and thats all, sell it, distribute it, change it, we don't care. LGPL - a less fanatic GPL, allows linking, can't tell much about it. MIT/X11 - I think it is like the BSD license right? CC - many people use creative commons these for software. I've only used it for text, but it might work. We can always use some (free) lawyer advise... 2009/10/20 Björnke von Gierke <[email protected]> > I still am interested, same as when we talked about similar stuff in the > pubs of edinburgh. > > What exactly do you propose, do you need a url/host (i have a host, but no > url, i do know people that have rev-community related urls who would share > them if there's "real and helpful content"). > > What is there to discuss anyway?
