Hello,

As a core member, if it were up to me, we would ditch GPL all together.
I don't subscribe to the ideology present within it nor do I drink RMS
brand kool aid.

Does that mean that I am anti FOSS software? Hardly, in fact you would
be hard pressed to find a larger advocate. What is does mean, is that I
am a realist and I am pragmatic about it. Software is just a tool. It is
not a political fight. Nor is software or the "right" to use software or
see the code an actual "right". That is a fallacy invented by RMS.

If it were up to me and it isn't entirely. We would use either the LGPL
(version 2) or the OSL:

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
