Thank you for the explanation. As I undesrtand it, commercial entities *will* be able to use BIND as they see fit, even if the relicensing goes ahead. Share bug fixes back, or get a support contract, and we're good. We really just want everybody to be a mensch about it. On a personal level, I actually agree with you, and I find the idea of relicensing somewhat regrettable. It's not that I'm against the GPL, I think software creators should be able to share their work on whatever terms they like, but *personally* I like giving my stuff away with as few encumbrances as possible. It's disappointing to me to add any burden to it at all. I do like eating, though, and I won't be able to fix as many bugs if I have to stop doing that. :/ -- Evan Hunt -- e...@isc.org Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
