Re: [Libpki-users] LibPKI License

[Ralf V. <ral...@we...>]

Hello,

in libpki I found only some files where the GPL license is noticed. The 
according spec-file contains a hint for a BSD-Style license. So a 
general licence file would be preferable.
In general I prefer a Apache-like / BSD-Style license. Than also 
commercial third parties can use the library without releasing their 
proprietary parts and can feel free if they distribute their patches to 
the community. I think this promotes the distribution of the library.
I think this is also the reason why openssl is so successful in 
commercial and non-commercial areas.

Regards,
Ralf
