Wine Continues To Move Towards License Change

Posted by Hemos on from the moving-slowly-and-carefully dept.

uhmmmm writes "The Wine developer's votes are in. Wine will change license, as was suggested would happen, but it's not yet decided to what exactly. Alexandre notes 'We now have to decide the implementation details, like the exact license used, whether to require copyright assignments, etc.'"

    Alexandre posted the results of his survey to the Winedev newsgroup this morning (in my timezone).

    Of people who expressed an opinion and who had contributed code, the results were roughly 2 to 1 in favor of moving to the LGPL.

    Of people who expressed an opinion and who had NOT contributed code, the numbers were more favorable to remaining with the X11 style license.

    People who code prefer LGPL, people who bitch don't.
