Re: IDL dependency tracking

[<dahaverk rockwellcollins com>]

Just thought I would throw in my 2cents on this.   I don't want the license
in anyway to cause someone that is developing software to have to give away
the source to their application unless they want to.    Since the IDL
stubs/skels are included into a delivered application, any license on the
generated code should fall under something more like the "Artistic"
license.  The code for the IDL compiler etc should be GPL'ed.  This way,
any changes or improvements to the IDL compiler and Stubs/Skels can be
freely given back to the community, and the Programmer/Company retains the
rights to the Application code they develop.

Of course usage of the GNU "gettext"  in ORBit already corrupts this idea.
I can already see that some company lawyers will have developers re-write
(re-invent) some Open-Source software to avoid having to give away the
company "Domain Knowledge".
