Note: My posts mentioning the GPL license (which is known as a "viral" type of license) are not intended to be pro- GPL or anti- GPL posts.
Only intended to be informational as the OSI license used might be important to the reader of these posts.
Edit: "Viral" licenses have their place, readers probably noticed that the CC license I suggested to GM is also "viral" unless you ask his permission to not be bound by that condition of the license. Click his signature to see a better description.

I am going to have to look closer at stuff before I recommend it, although I do use LGPL even in my commercial apps (I just have to be careful to dynamically load it instead of static linking). I want to be able to use all of my code base for commercial apps, so I have to be careful to avoid GPL, and keep the LGPL stuff as loadable libraries.
And thanks for the public domain VT100 state machine. I plan to use the Ruby-generated state tables from it in my code.
EDIT: I wish GPL wasn't so ANTI-BUSINESS. If everybody worked for Universities, we would not have any products to buy (or food to eat). What are those guys smoking, anyway? You did see the embedded video of Richard Stallman eating stuff he picked off of his bare foot during a lecture while on camera, didn't you? Strange stuff there (eating foot fungus in public, and GPL too).
