Bah, my mistake, that'd be ASL.  Oh well, I can safely say I'm using something that liberally uses the GPL now!  ;)

toadlife:
The reason I think the GPL is wrong in this case is adoption. In order for something like this to be succefull, it needs to be widely adopted. Xorg is now the defacto X standard and it has a license that is more free/developer friendly than Y-Windows.

Oh wait, we've gone over this before.

No I don't.


--- Quote from: piratePenguin --- In the future, anything and everything I write (as in programming stuff) in my own time, will almost definetly be GPLed (assuming it's my choice). Even libraries, so if some non-free feckor wants to link with my libraries, they may switch to a free-software licence or gtfo.

You've just outlined the exact reason why Y-Windows will fail.

bedouin:
Looks like Ubuntu is going to have a bit of help.

Good news.

In which case, let it fail!

You do know that it's partly LGPL?
