I concur. I guess I understood that you were discussing more of a GPL vs
LGPL issue than a GPL vs other licenses issue. Your viewpoint makes a great
deal of sense.
BTW, I'm more of an XFce user than a GNOME user. I despise what GNOME has
done with the desktop. Under 1.4, I could have workspaces & ports, which
was really cool. I used that feature, too. The default panel looked more
like XFce's does now. There were some other features I really liked about
GNOME 1.4 as well. I used GNOME the most under SUSE 8.0. Now I use XFce.
Who knows, maybe one day I'll migrate to Enlightenment. ;)
