Moving along and not forcing this project into the preptual planning problem is
nice. I'm glad to
see things move along even if there isn't code yet. I am still taking my time
learning this stuff

If I remember right, it has a provision for linking against system code. Or
else EVERYTHING on
the computer would have to be GPL.

I find the LGPL to be the best. I don';t want someone making money off of me
without the
community benefitting
Just my small little take on the lisence issues.
