Good argument against the repeated phrase "I wouldn't have contributed if...". Anyway, if the GPL purists see a chance to fight against proprietary software, they are in a good position. There is even a vague possibility to get your view granted in a legal dispute, but IMHO this is most unlikely. We either need a written GPL exception explicitly granted by all contributors or a clear statement of at least one of them, that they don't want this simply because they are in the position to say so. Without "I wouldn't have contributed if...". Harald P.S.: This discussion about free software reminds me of Brian: "Excuse me. Are you the Judean People's Front?" Reg: "Fuck off! We're the People's Front of Judea." _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list Openocd-development@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
