It forces an otherwise new market to stick to being as Open as possible. Whereas in situations where there are already closed source solutions, the LGPL is an alternative since it is more flexible. While this isn't optimal, it's clearly a better license in this situation. +1 -Yaakov -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
