Are these guys *nuts*? I have no problems with GPL'ized licensing. If I make money on something it is right and proper to give some back... On the other hand I have had my nuts busted more than once by using a licensed or patented technology in a project just to have the licenser change their mind on how they are going to distribute it 3 years after the fact. Then I find that I have to either totally rewrite my PD freeware (that I give away without fee) or be stuck with the old, probably buggy, versions of the software -- never to be upgraded. Is this the fate the W3C wish for all of the web based GPL/OSF code? God I hope not... What are they *thinking*? EBo -- <ebo@asu.edu>
