You don't like a licence, you need something else for a given project. Why don't you ask to library author for a specific authorization, explaining your arguments and motivations, instead of discarding the possiblility of using the library? As the author of LPGL'd OCaml libraries, I wouln't object giving special licences for open source or commercial projects, if I agree with their own licensing conditions. The licence is not attached to the software, but to a given distribution; it is always possible to provide (give/sell) different licences for different users. -- Alain ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
