GPL is designed to hold people (mostly commercial interests) hostage. Some of what is going on here sounds the same: it's open but not really. A web client is not so terribly difficult to write that we should compromise on licensing in order to use one. I have a *terribly* simple one that I can port if there is interest. IIRC, I used it to download some large files, but don't expect much. ________________________________________ From: pharo-project-bounces@lists.gforge.inria.fr [pharo-project-bounces@lists.gforge.inria.fr] On Behalf Of Levente Uzonyi [leves@elte.hu] Sent: Monday, August 30, 2010 6:25 PM To: Pharo-project@lists.gforge.inria.fr Subject: Re: [Pharo-project] WebClient-Core port to Pharo 1.1 final On Mon, 30 Aug 2010, Friedrich Dominicus wrote:

I suggest that the people that want and know, group together and build an open-source one.
Why do you have to have your "own" library?
Did I say "pharo library"? reread carefully I said an "open-source one".
What I get from Andreas' words is that he's willing to make it open source if it won't be forked. Hm I think this is impossible. If it's OS it's up to whomever get its hand on it. Or am I mistaken?
Just think about GPL, it's open source, but you can't fork the code if you don't release your changes as GPL too.
