Libraries licensed under the >GPL are "open source" all right, as per the OSI definition.=20 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. > [snip] >See http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Ada_Programming/Installing > >--=20 >Ludovic Brenta. >------------------------------ Andrew
