Isn't this true about most BSD-esque licenses? I'll admit that I have never really dug much deeper than the surface as to why BSD-esque and GPL licenses tend to be incompatible and therefore redistribution of a GPL'd software package inside of a BSD-esque software package is not allowed. But off the top of my head, the Trac <> MoinMoin incompatibility comes to mind, and there are obviously LOTS and LOTS of other similar situations. Is this particular issue really all that unique, or am I missing something obvious? -- /M:D M. David Peterson http://mdavid.name | http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/2354 | http://dev.aol.com/blog/3155
