Well, you seem to know more about it than I do so maybe you can tell me
what the "correct" open source licensing is/should be. It sounds to me,
from the posts about the licensing, is that the licensing changed and
the new licensing does not meet many people's needs. Hence the question
about developing a compiler that does meet the people's needs;
specifically the open source community.
