Mozilla Relicensing

What this means, for those of you who aren't too up on this stuff, is that when YOU take the code, and make your own product, you now have a triple choice as to what license you want to distribute your code under.

    Second, I rather think this situation is a special case. This isn't just your usual corrupt government subsidy; we're talking a part of the national infrastructure that is privately run and in serious trouble from many people's new-found (and rather understandable) fear of flying.

    I am inclined to think that it will work out worse for everybody if only the strong survive here -- the big carriers will crowd all the smaller ones out of the market.
