It is the license that is ambiguous. :) At least, they claim it is: The license is still ambiguous at this point, but it will be either a BSD Style License or use perl's model. In addition, "the license must allow for BSD/MIT/(L)GPL uses of the code". This allows the possibility that it will be picked up by X or glib. However, it is only a "possibility". To be honest, so far there is not schedule to do port to glibc strictly. The X Consortium may be interested in iconv for its X-TT or Unicode support. A person offering code for this project must agree to it being distributed with this license condition. In addition, copyright of this project is added to the source code. Of course the original copyright is left in place as well. Sean -- scf@FreeBSD.org
