<br>about this practice, but his explanation of suggesting it to a company <br>to get them to release the code under the GPL in the first place <br>seems reasonable.<br><br>-Jonathan<br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><font face="Tahoma" size="2"><hr size="1"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">From:</span></b> Bernardo Barros <bernardobarros2@gmail.com><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> Jonathan Wilkes <jancsika@yahoo.com><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cc:</span></b> Hans-Christoph Steiner <hans@at.or.at>; pd-list@iem.at<br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Sun, June 20, 2010 11:56:59 AM<br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> Re: [PD] cyclone license<br></font><br>
The difference it seems is that BSD allows proprietary use of the software. Right??<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2010/6/20 Jonathan Wilkes <span dir="ltr"><<a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:jancsika@yahoo.com" target="_blank" href="mailto:jancsika@yahoo.com">jancsika@yahoo.com</a>></span><br>
