Since moderators can only post in the forum that the link above goes to, I thiought I'd put my ideas here:

From a user standpoint, I think that the transition to BSD is a great idea and I fully support it. It will make the inclusion of open source components in commerically release software a breeze, and is a great step forward thumbup1.gif That said, the LGPL was pretty good too, but the BSD will make convincing company management to allow you to include open source in your project a whole lot smoother.

Chris,

That's great to hear. I guess that I should have put the following notice at the top of my (very lengthy) post, instead of at the bottom. tongue.gif

> If you would like to discuss this, please post a topic in the OpenG General discussion forum.

Cheers,
