I heard about GNU GPL version wars, was only aware of the benign
Linus T. one.
Let me laught:
Do you really think a GNU GPL version war can reasonnably
compensate the defect of code closing from MIT/BSD-like licenses.
I'm not weak/stupid enough to let go the advantages of the
protection of the GNU GPL for that. Please!
I know what's the most important: protection against code closing.
(Hey! I'm not going to stop driving a car because there are accidents)
How can I get my hands on the libreDWG and Samba cases? Google?
