Well then IMHO those people are the ones who are being "difficult" and putting politics over progress. Saying you won't contribute to a GPL project is more a political statement than the result of some reasonable decision-making process, because even if you do contribute to GPL software, you still own the copyright so you can also release your code under any other license you choose. Personally I don't love the GPL because it imposes more restrictions than a BSD style license (making, in my opinion, GPL software less free). But I respect others' religious beliefs. So if the GPL is not otherwise in the way, I have no problem working with it, etc. "Can't we all just get along?" :-) -Archie __________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * CTO, Awarix * http://www.awarix.com
