I think the idea of inquiring about the EFF licences to be a good one but I hardly think this email is well written. Are you a native speaker of English? The tone of the email sounds accusatory and rant-like. Perhaps something like Why are most/all software of EFF licensed under the GPL? The GPL's restrictions preclude a large number of users from freely using the software. For example the FreeBSD Project is actively phasing out the use of GPL like restrictions and Google prefers the use the 2-BSD license. Would it be possible to change the license of __(specific software)__ to a BSD-like (or even the Apache license)? Or something of a similar nature would be a nicer way to put it. -- Eitan Adler _______________________________________________ freebsd-advocacy@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-advocacy To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-advocacy-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
