While we're on this topic, I just shut down the licensing survey on
the SourceForge site. The results were pretty much as reflected in the
lists: (please remember that this survey was not scientific, just a tool
used to gauge overall opinions and such. It didn't appear to have any
instances of ballot-stuffing - Thank you all for your cooperation on that).
Where to go from here? I don't know. After we get 1.5 out the door,
this will become more important.
(++ = 1, + = 2, 0 = 3, - = 4, -- = 5)
Keep BSD-style licensing:
3 ++
1 +
1 0
1 -
GPL all of Netatalk
6 ++
4 +
2 0
LGPL lib, GPL everything else
3 ++
5 +
1 0
1 -
LGPL all of Netatalk
2 ++
1 +
5 0
3 -
