Re: [rms@gnu.org: Why you shouldn't use the Library GPL for your next library]

One of GNOME's distinctives has always been that you can, if you wish,
develop non-source-available software to the GNOME standard, and even
if no one ever does so, I think it is important to preserve that freedom.
I don't write non-source-available software for GNOME, but I'd rather
it be my choice than a requirement.  One of the reasons I joined the
GNOME project was the committment to total freedom, not just RMS's ideas
of what freedom is, and I'd be saddened if we followed RMS's suggestion
here.
