Hi,
Does anyone know about the licence under which xforms will be released ?
GPL ? LGPL (like GTK) ? There is quite a big difference ...
here is an extract of the GNU documentation :
"...Using the ordinary GPL is not advantageous for every library. There
are reasons that can make it better to use the Library GPL in
certain cases. The most common case is when a free library's features
are readily available for proprietary software through other
alternative libraries. In that case, the library cannot give free
software any particular advantage, so it is better to use the Library
GPL for
that library. ..."
regards
Yann
