Folks,
First I thank everybody who mailed me in reply to Jeremy's request, I now have a clearer picture of where the community wants to go. However, I still haven't heard from a number of contributors; so if you haven't sent me your opinion yet, please do it now, so that we can reach a conclusion soon and hopefully return wine-devel to its original purpose.
As a reminder, the question Jeremy asked is the following:
Should the Wine project switch to a license which has as its goal to attempt to secure some form of Copyleft protection for Wine while still permitting proprietary software to link and bind with Wine?
Just let me know privately whether you agree with that or not. If you don't care either way, or aren't decided yet, please tell me that too, I want to make sure I know where everybody stands on this issue. Thanks.
Note: everybody is welcome to send me their opinion, even people who didn't contribute code. Of course the opinion of people who have contributed will carry more weight in the final decision, but I think everybody should have a voice.

I still don't like this idea, not that you asked or anything.. Could you post some kind of digest, even if the response is just "Yes" or "No" ? Or was it suppose to be anonymous?

Well, it seemed to me that the whole purpose of sending it to Alexandre was to allow it to be private. This list is available for voicing discussions.

This list is for discussion development issuse. As more license discussion is to be expected, I strongly propose to create a wine-license list and do the discussion on that list.
