As a follow-up to my announcement about the XSLT Standard Library, I'd like to start a (hopefully brief) discussion about the choice of license. I hope my choice of license is as least contentious as possible. >From my point-of-view it came down to two options: LGPL or MIT/Berkeley. GPL is out because most commercial concerns won't touch GPL'd code due to its viral nature. Although MIT/Berkeley style licenses are good from the commercial standpoint (they're basically "anything goes, just don't blame me when it goes wrong"), I know that some folks are not keen on contributing code under such a license. So the choice of LGPL I believe represents a middle ground: commercial use is OK, but changes to the library itself have to be fed back to the project. Does anyone have any dissenting thoughts on this? -- Steve Ball | waX Me Lyrical XML Editor | Training & Seminars Zveno Pty Ltd | Web Tcl Complete | XML XSL http://www.zveno.com/ | TclXML TclDOM | Tcl, Web Development Steve.Ball@xxxxxxxxx +---------------------------+--------------------- Ph. +61 2 6242 4099 | Mobile (0413) 594 462 | Fax +61 2 6242 4099 XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
