The coders of Coda made up their minds to go with the GPL. The whining guy didn't try to influence their decision, didn't present new reasons why Coda shouldn't be GPLed, but was just bitching and moaning about it. That's fine, but then if Sean wants to call him a whiner, he won't be far off. > thing of a filesystem like CODA would be being able to use it with a LOT > of platforms (yes, including commercial ones with expensive suport) > without the license getting in your way. Yes, it would be nice. No, it won't happen in commercial systems unless the Coda people can be convinced to either not use the GPL or provide an alternative licensing scheme. That's life.
