Comments on: Announcing Ideavine! http://kohari.org/2008/09/17/announcing-ideavine/ Rambling and occasional wisdom from Nate Kohari Thu, 21 Jul 2011 13:50:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Nate Kohari http://kohari.org/2008/09/17/announcing-ideavine/#comment-221 Tue, 23 Sep 2008 18:19:42 +0000 http://kohari.org/?p=113#comment-221 @Hussein:

The infectious nature of copyleft licenses like the GPL make it difficult, if not impossible, to use work licensed under them in commercial products. If a commercial product wants to use a library licensed under the GPL, it restricts the business model they can use dramatically.

We are only interested in supporting projects that can be used by all projects, commercial and non-commercial alike. However, we will accept projects that are dual-licensed, with one option being a non-copyleft license.

Without GPL projects? Why?
