no we just refuse to rehash this old debate. We are here but as this is
akin to a religious discussion I seriously doubt anyone will be swayed
one way or the other. (I prefer GPL and LGPL because man is basically a
selfish creature-not to say if the purpose is commercial to use them.
Why give away code to others and allow them to make huge money from your
generosity-without some code turned back over?)
