All true, and I greatly favor Apache. But BSD/MIT are well-understood and still extremely pervasive. Looking at Google Code, which was founded fairly recently, Apache dominates; looking at Sourceforge and Freshmeat, MIT and BSD dominate. So put Apache before MIT/BSD, but don't drop them altogether. -- He played King Lear as though John Cowan <[email protected]> someone had played the ace. http://www.ccil.org/~cowan --Eugene Field _______________________________________________ License-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://projects.opensource.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/license-discuss
