Linking with CVSNT is limited at the moment to GPL projects only, which is not so useful when I'm trying to build a framework that will work in commercial environments. LGPL lets me for example create an SCC API or COM plugin, and C# and Java Libraries which the GPL won't. I'd like people to be able to make trigger libraries for example under any license, without having to GPL everything... that's why everything they need to include and use is LGPL - it keeps the separation and maintains the authors right to do what they want with their own code. There's still the issue of the Mysql link in cvsapi that needs to go (it's done using late binding so if you don't call it you're probably OK... it's a grey area though). Of course I can't change the existing license of much of the code... if I'm sure I'm the only one who has done work with it I've changed it but the core will probably always be GPL (it doesn't matter so much for the executable image though). The important thing to me is all the shareable libraries that are useful for extending cvsnt are in as free a license as I can manage. Tony
