Any= chances for BSD/MIT? *** Did you look at the FAQ? I discuss this there. If you want to consider a large donation to the project (I have a lot of pl= ans for it) I'd be happy to give you any license you want for your company = alone, although I think that silly (not the donation part) since you can us= e Gnoga in closed source projects. However as pointed out this is __GMGPL v3__ not GPL v3 which means you can = use in closed source applications, just if you extend / change the library = itself _and_ you distribute your app beyond your walls, you need to make ju= st _that_ source available to others. That is the reason I don't use BSD/MI= T, I don't want a 3rd party company building on Gnoga with out sharing :) (= Even though they could get away with it to a degree even with GMGPL) All the code I've written for the community to date has been with GMGPL and= they have been used in 100s of closed source project (no exaggeration on t= hat number since I know of one company with over 100 alone using GWindows). I'd be happy to discuss with anyone you like any issues regarding it.=20 > It looks (to me) as just about the same as in gnat pro It is identical to it. David Botton
