WINE May Change To LGPL

Posted by Hemos on from the yeah-probably dept.

isolation wrote to us about the proposal to change the Wine license to LGPL. Jeremey's got his ideas and reasons in the e-mail there, and it makes sense - Jeremy's a smart guy. There's a call for opinions on this as well, so read through it, and offer commentary.

    Or don't read through it, and offer blistering and incoherent screeds about the inherent superiority of the GPL.

    It's your option, and this _is_ Slashdot, after all.

  3. Use LGPL and retire your software by AdmrlHale · · Score: 0, Troll

    Market economies develop quickest when there is competition. This is economic fact. LGPL/GPL remove any form of this by disabling the ability to make a profit in a competitive manner. So, sure, go ahead and use LGPL and watch Wine become a thing of the past. Any form of the GPL is a virus/plague.
