I wouldn't put it quite that way. The relation of each to the GPL is right, but you can't really compare the LGPL and the GMGPL in such a simple way. I don't think I'd ever use LGPL for anything other than a proper link/runtime library. The GMGPL is useful for things like reusable Ada packages. Its really more of an issue of what each is good for, not which is "more free". >Personally I'm very happy that XmlAda is released publicly, GPL is >enough for my needs at the moment.

It does make it available to people working on GPL'ed Ada projects (of which I'm one), so it is still a Good Thing. --- T.E.D. homepage - http://www.telepath.com/dennison/Ted/TED.html home email - mailto:dennison@telepath.com
