In this case, we were using "effective" in the context of "Which license is more effective in making more and better source code available to the public?". In other words, is the GPL's mandatory code sharing counterproductive? Does the fact that BSD allows commercial development encourage more developers to use it and in turn to contribute code back to BSD projects? ===== Sincerely, Matt Seitz __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
