I heard about GNU GPL version wars, was only aware of the benign Linus T. one. Let me laught: Do you really think a GNU GPL version war can reasonnably compensate the defect of code closing from MIT/BSD-like licenses. I'm not weak/stupid enough to let go the advantages of the protection of the GNU GPL for that. Please! I know what's the most important: protection against code closing. (Hey! I'm not going to stop driving a car because there are accidents) How can I get my hands on the libreDWG and Samba cases? Google? Suckless mailing list archive? -- Sylvain
