Re: [Chicken-users] Comprehensive documentation rewrite

Elf, do you mind not spreading incorrect information?


$ find . -wholename '*/trunk/*.meta' -exec grep GPL '{}' ';' | wc -l
43

$ find . -wholename '*/trunk/*.meta' -exec grep MIT '{}' ';' | wc -l
22

$ find . -wholename '*/trunk/*.meta' -exec grep SRFI '{}' ';' | wc -l
13

$ find . -wholename '*/trunk/*.meta' -exec grep -i "Public Domain" '{}' ';' | 
wc -l
15


I maintain 26 eggs, 25 of which are licensed under the GPL. So there
are at least 18 other eggs under GPL/LGPL (most of them released
before GPL v3), 22 under the MIT license, 13 under the SRFI license,
15 released as public domain. And there are a handful in which the
license is listed as "unknown", "Open Source", "Bremer license", and
"Creative Commons".
