Which from the rest of your mail I see is the > case. Well, if it's not used by many people then, again, this will be for reasons other than the license. I don't think most people actually care that much about the license when it comes down to the practical merits, it being far (FAR) more of a time--and-interest issue. > What I'm also getting at is this: If kernel internals change, then the > KGI (kernel part of GGI) may have to be altered and you (or another BSD > hacker) won't be inclined to do this for a piece that can only be used > with a LGPL lib, right? Again, and speaking just for myself and a few others here, I don't think that's a problem. If we were so anti-GPL as that, we wouldn't have any compilers. :) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
