Hi all, I dont pretend to start a flamewar, if you do, please dont answer this thread.The thing is that right now, the EFL has arrived to a place where different companies are using this software, and several of us are working on a company using the efl (raster, gustavo, cedric, me, anyone else?). >From a closed source company POV, BSD license is great because they dont need to give us anything back (fancypants example?); but for companies that do want to build an opensource initiative based on the EFL, BSD is not so great, because their code can be stolen from others; so whats your opinion on this? how to achieve an open source compromise and still be able to use EFL and develop for it?. In my opinion building a company around BSD license is not an option for the market, but GPL'ing libraries is not good as it leaves all the BSD ppl away, maybe LGPL? Thanks |
