Re: [Web-erp-developers] Lisencing

[Stins, D. <DR...@Zi...>]

Phil,

I prefer a less restrictive license like mozilla, mit, apache or berkely.
GNU is too hard to understand and you have a bigger chance to violate it
accidently.

I guess it's also better to for the acceptance of web-erp when I see the
acceptance of projects like mozilla, apache and compiere.
