Re: [Web-erp-developers] Lisencing

[skaill <sk...@ro...>]

In regard to the GPL, I think I was reading about a newer and better
licensing that seems like a better encouragement for all to get involved
including business yet keeps the necessary ingredients of the GPL.  Have you
considered that license instead, Phil?  I don't mean to be pushy, just
asking.
