As I pointed out when I raised the issue. In fact I even went and provided a list of 50 developers who would need to be agreeing to add such an exception. > 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...". I believe there *have* been such statements, several times. The "I wouldn't have contributed..." is simply pointing out that they *looked* at the license before contributing. It's an attempt to forestall the annoying claims by some folk that the license already had some kind of exception. > 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." Reminds me more of a two-year old arguing. You will notice that *NOBODY* who promotes the idea of adding an "exception" has actually bellied up to the bar and started to do the legwork to get developers to agree to such a licence change. _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list Openocd-development@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
