Hi,
In order to provide an open source
implementation under the GPL, dont you think that there should be open source
tools like web servers, web browsers that work accross different
OS's/Processors, and are under the GPL. I am unaware (due to unfamiliarity with
open source software) of such implementations. Dont you think that efforts
should start on implementing the basic functionality of these tools? As an
example, someone on the AUTH list asked how a software might hook into IE. I
tried to search the msdn, but I didnt come up with anything useful. Implementing
our own tools under the GPL would not only make us familiar with their workings,
and hence allow us to modify their behaviour at will, but also give the masses
out there, the chance to use these GPL'd tools for a change.
Regards,
- Amir
