Gotcha. I guess my point is: isn't the same true in reverse? In other words, I don't think Apache (ASLv2) is any more restrictive than BSD? > > So my decision is no slight to Apache - I think the Apache Foundation > is doing some really great things. Thanks, appreciate it. I'm also not trying to slight BSD or anything you guys are doing. Just trying to find out if there would be a way to release it under ASLv2 as well. I'm looking at using OPeNDAP's Java library in some Apache projects and I don't really have the time to roll an ASLv2 version from scratch (though it's been something I've been considering but just haven't found any time for yet). Thanks, again!
