> My point is that you can't get away with not licensing your free software

djb did, before he released everything (or practically everything?) into the public domain. Look for my other comment thread to see the practical results of that.



Huh? djb had some sort of requirements, otherwise maintainers wouldn't have had the big tiff they did about his directory ideas (arguably better, but not in isolation). They couldn't package qmail up to use their distro-specific ways. Public domain fixed this, of course.


Read the page I linked to in the other subthread. djb never used a license.
