I'd say more that trust. Let's be blunt: The legal issues related to using, consuming and/or leveraging open source are legend. Use of a non OSI-approved "open source" license is simply a guarantee to spend huge amounts of billable hours having one's legal team vet the license, if anyone even bothers to *consider* a non-OSI license in the first place. An OSI approved license lowers a LOT of barriers to entry. _______________________________________________ License-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://projects.opensource.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/license-discuss
