Thanks to everyone for sharing their views on the licensing issue. Quite
a few statements and arguments to think about... Choosing an appropriate
license for a project is even trickie

"Stealing" code is common practice, don't try to prevent it.
And there are no guarantees as you can see in pir

Actually the GPL doesn't do what you guys claim it to do, it doesn't
require people to share back with you changes to your code, it only
requires them to release their changes if they *redistribute* their
code.
Anyway, licenses are an annoyance and a waste of everyone's time and
resources. I agree

Let's now pretend it's late August, the flame war has subsided after
500+ messages, and we can get on with the other discussions.
Are you sure there will be any improvements of your code if nobody
wants to use it because of the license?

I guess there is a clash of licenses between your project
Anyway to get a non GPL v3 licensed version from you? I may not be able to
use this implementation for what I want otherwise.
I was actually planning on doing this myself, anyway at one point, and
BSDLng it.
I figured the best way to understand 9p would be to implement it :-)

I have been using Inferno for a while and wrote it originally to use
legacy services from within Inferno. So most (not to say all) testing
have been done using Inferno so far.
I have just set up Plan9 under Xen and got everything (including
network) up and running. I will focus on Plan9 for furthe

Very cool. Can I mount it with v9fs? :-)
I may actually have a use for such a thing very soon, oddly enough.
