True, unless we stick to the same licensing scheme we have today for perl, which, like it or not, has served Perl very, very well. But yes, I see no way to put perl solely under the GPL. That's just about the worst thing we could do, aside from making perl non-"free." -- Chris Nandor [email protected] http://pudge.net/ Open Source Development Network [email protected] http://osdn.com/
