Re: license question

Well, he chose what he chose, and at this stage if you don't like it 
you're probably best off just not helping a project you don't agree with 
the licensing terms of.  The standard response of those that favor 
gpl/lgpl over bsd licensing is of course, as you know, that they don't 
want to have their community efforts ripped off by heartless 
community-unfreindly companies who take advantage of BSD'd code.
