Until this is rectified, including RPSL licensed code in any large Free project is going to result in a sufficiently massive shitstorm that using another media framework is significantly more likely to happen. Simply put, without massive technological advantages, the pragmatic benefits of using something other than Helix outweigh the bad feeling that using it would cause. If you're serious about wanting Helix to be integrated into Gnome, then concentrate on alleviating that bad feeling rather than simply stating that the OSI have approved the license - there's a very large set of people who trust other bodies more when it comes to determining the Freeness of something. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@xxxxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
