The philosophy is utterly simple: it's open source, and if the user ever makes money, then the author gets a cut. A number of people seem to find this the most sensible open source philosophy. Ask Bob Leif how it can be implemented... and stand back :-) > - Isn't your code, by accident, GPL? No. > AI-302 reference implementation > seems to be such license. God's in the details. AI-302 is like GMGPL (GNAT-Modified GPL), which is equivalent to LGPL, not to GPL. You can instantiate the generic units like crazy. Also note that: - Ada.Containers will take the place of AI302 soon - Mneson does not desperatly depend on any of these
