have you never heard of 'viral licensing'? the reason is, quite simply, that linking to lgpl stuff will cause our stuff to be licensed under lgpl instead of staying licensed under the apache licence. and that's something from which we have decided to protect our users. if *they* want to modify the code to do this stuff, fine -- but not our original sources for the above reason. we're not going to force the 3p commercial vendors who base their products on our code into any form of [l]gpl compliance. that's something they need to do themselves, with their eyes open. -- #ken P-)} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Golux.Com/coar/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ "Millennium hand and shrimp!" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
