<p>
|
|
With all the problems GPL may have, resorting to a license as weak as<br>
|
|
MIT or BSD is a very bad idea, IMHO. The BSD-style licenses have<br>
|
|
amply proven that you _have_ to put in a requirement that<br>
|
|
modifications to sources remain open. Otherwise companies will start<br>
|
|
to siphon off the software, make proprietary "enhancements" to it, and<br>
|
|
you'll get a fracturing of the market like we have it with proprietary<br>
|
|
UNIXes these days. In the end, it's so fractured and incompatible<br>
|
|
that nobody cares for it anymore.<br>
