I think we have some BSD-like code in KDE.. I don't want to use LGPL because
if you write a new tool (e.g. an xml-dumper) with the C++ parser you're
forced to link dynamically with it!! or you have to release the object files
or release your project as GPL/LGPL(??). It sound a bit stupid if you ask me.
The parser is designed to be *embedded* into applications(e.g. including
rxx.pri in your project). I don't care about the source of tools using the
parser :-)
I really would like to know what you guys think about it.. It's very
*important* for me, because then you have to release your changes to the C++
parser with the same license!!
