@bascule@wmeissner@hiro_asari Y U HATE LGPL and harass developers about it? -
@postmodern_mod3@wmeissner@hiro_asari because people are telling me they literally can't use my software because of FFI's license :P -
@bascule@wmeissner@hiro_asari they probably confusing LGPL with GPL/AGPL, or are afraid of getting Stallman cooties. -
@postmodern_mod3@wmeissner@hiro_asari this is not the case, I can assure you -
@bascule@wmeissner@hiro_asari how can you assure me? *GPL does not put restrictions on usage, only re-distribution. -
@postmodern_mod3@wmeissner@hiro_asari answered OOB -
@bascule@hiro_asari basically, it's the legal departments choice to block LGPL, and not@wmeissner's responsibility to re-license for them. -
@postmodern_mod3@hiro_asari@wmeissner IMO it makes no sense for FFI to have a different license from Ruby - 4 more replies
