You can take a look at the ASF's not quite final license policy: http://www.apache.org/legal/3party.html Although it's not formally finalized, it is essentially in use as presented today and it shows the license environment as it presents itself to us.
The Free Software Foundation comes from a different viewpoint. The following page gives a glimpse at their perspective: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/quick-guide-gplv3.html In the end, when choosing a license, you have to ask yourself what you want to accomplish. But going into any detail about this here is off-topic for this list. I'm sure there are lots of additional resources on the net. On 26.05.2009 19:53:13 Eelco Meuter wrote: > Thanks for the comment.
