Here comes the liscence wars again.
Still haven't figured out how GPL became the holy grail.
the terms on the gpl are (by choice) the strictiest (does that word even exists?) ever seen in a free software license. but a lot of people 'believe' in free software and have elected the gpl as their license of choice. because of their true faith :) they are also pickier at license compatibility. i am sure that the QPL and the ZPL are completely incompatible but nobody cares because nobody really thinks that one is better than the other... anyway, don't see it as a war. it is more like natural selection... federico (a real believer :) ) -- Federico Di Gregorio MIXAD LIVE Chief of Research & Technology fog@mixadlive.com Debian GNU/Linux Developer & Italian Press Contact fog@debian.org Qu'est ce que la folie?
