Personally, I favor the BSD license as well. I guess I'm not bothered by people using free software (and one can always add their OWN license to prevent the use in non-free compilers). To be honest, there will be few non-free compiler vendors that will do that (the "not invented here" syndrome). I think it is a moot point, to be honest. Okay, I'll go back to the shadows... Lloyd |
