Re: IBM i GUI Frameworks

you to put several thousand more hours into your framework

Actually, after thinking about it some more I figure I do have at least 1
thousand hours invested in open source over the years since I started
MowYourLawn.com in 2002. And heck, I am still enjoying myself! Some people
milk me, but a lot of people thank me. That's life satisfaction right
there! You should try it sometime instead of assuming it ends badly.

Maybe you need to come right out and ask what it is you have
on your mind so we can put this to rest?

I just did ask what what on my mind. But I agree that the questions and
answers
are getting circular. It appears that the best thing for me to do is just
wait
for you to put several thousand more hours into your framework, and have a
half
dozen copy cats incorporate it into their proprietary commercial offerings
without so much as returning to give you the time of day, then see if you
change
your mind about the LGPL. If I understand correctly, that's why the
organizers
of the GNU project are asking contributors to stop using the LGPL. We've
see
the same evolution with Zend licensing.

I should admit that I used about 6 lines of source code from your
HTML2PDF4i
project. Thanks.
