Ah, the old "the world is bad let's all do this this better thing" fantasy.

But seriously, why are you saying this was a fantasy thing??
The difference between a vision and a fantasy is practicality. I just cannot see the GPL or anything like it becoming the de facto software license. Moreover, I view the GPL as bad for the quality of software and so the world would be a better place without it. However, I recognise that it is as popular as it is because the legal support for software is so lousy so the GPL looks attractive on the surface. Patching up a leaky tire is one approach - far better is to replace the tire. Cheers, Niall _______________________ http://www.oekonux.org/
