As for my planned tutorial: I am reconciled with the idea that it might have to be GPL'd. Though I still maintain that GPL is not an optimal license for such work. 2. As for other code I might write and publish: I'm tempted to use the Unlicense (which is basically more or less putting it into the PD), even though it might (technically) be void. > Cheers, > Daniele Best, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science Adam Mickiewicz University
