[REBOL] Rugby back to BSD license: with an explanation
From: m::koopmans2::chello::nl at: 19-Jan-2002 15:02
All,
Thank you for your comments / support.
I changed Rugby back to the BSD license, and it will be that way forever.
Why?
I feel Rugby is good, it is better than I expected that I could do in some
ways.
However.... it is not (nor will it be) my primary source of income.
So I like it better if it is widely used. I hope it will open up
possibilities for other
people to do things they now find too hard or unimaginable. Even
commercially.
That will make some things better in some ways, which is a good (and
sometimes)
necessary thing.
My original reason for the BSD license (and my great example) was the TCP/IP
stack.
With the GPL it would have been harder to get that far, with a proprietary
license as well , I think (if you disagree, please do that in silence ;-)
So it is back under BSD, but I added a donation option.
If you feel it has done something for you, feel free to give whatever it was
worth to you.
And an email will do as well as some $$$ (although that has benefits as well
;-).
Spread the word, enter the Rebolution.
Let's play Rugby.
