How the fact that your scripts are written in Perl can harm your advocacy efforts? I can see no difference between creating the scripts using GPLed gcc and not-quite-as-GPLed perl! One is even able to choose between GPL and Artistic licenses for Perl stuff. Also, nobody can hold you from releasing your perl scripts with whatever license you like. Aside from that, the whole idea seems to me like a waste of time and efforts. Perl is simply better suited for the job. -- Anton Berezin <tobez@plab.ku.dk> The Protein Laboratory, University of Copenhagen To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
