Well, this sounds like an argument for the LGPL. There is absolutely no guarantee of stability with the X11 license; anybody can start a Wine tree under another license, and if developers think this is a good idea there is nothing I or anybody else can do to prevent it. It's simply part of the existing rules that the rules can change. > I'd have no objection to Gpl *if* people having invested > money in Wine success accept the move without problem. > I think you should feel more responsibility towards people > investing in Wine, not only responsibility towards the > project - in other words you, because you are the Wine > project. You know, that's exactly why we are having this discussion. If I was as selfish as you seem to think, I could change the license today without asking anybody. I'm not doing it precisely because I *do* care what people think, and I won't make the change unless it is acceptable to at least a large majority of the people affected by the change (and yes that includes Transgaming). -- Alexandre Julliard [EMAIL PROTECTED]
