[Biococoa-dev] Joining the team

[Alexander Griekspoor]

Just to inform everyone, a few days ago Phil contacted me with a 
question about the WWDC. Of course, I couldn't resist asking him to 
join the biococoa team ;-) He asked me if the framework could be 
released as LGPL instead of GPL, which allows incorporation into 
commercial products as long as the framework is unmodified. I told him 
that I was not the one who could solely decide that of course and told 
him to raise the question on his behalf on the list. I did say that I 
would like to copy his request and that I basically see no problems 
with changing the license as we have started from scratch and have no 
legacy code with GPL license included anyway. But, fair enough this is 
something we should decide upon together, and perhaps especially Peter 
who started the project.
What's everybody's opinion on this?

	65 million years ago, there were more
                      dinosaurs than humans.
	     Where are the dinosaurs now?

    The requirements said: Windows 2000 or better.
    So I got a Macintosh.
