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.'"

    Someone who gets it. How refreshing.

    Both licenses are about sharing. One just makes sure that the sharing continues.

    Forcing others to share is not considered sharing in my book.

    Or: If you want your code to stay open, use GPL. If you want someone else to make money off of something that you didn't ask any money to produce, use BSD.

    There are a lot of ways to say it which is what I was trying to point out. Both your versions point out only one scenario of the BSD license and in a negative light.

    Ok. Consider it selective sharing. I am only willing to share with other people who are willing to share.
