Anyone "in the know" have a any "inside scoop" regarding the such
organization's perspective on the "zlib/libpng" license? I tend to favor
it for my own OSS projects, since it's (in my perspective) at least as
liberal as Boost, but very, very, ultra-easy to read/understand even for
an everyday layman. But I would love to hear from anyone with more
in-the-trenches experience how realistic that really plays out in the
"real world".
I wonder if maybe it would be worth my while to dual-license my OSS
dlang projects under both Boost and zlib/libpng. Anyone with real-world
expertise in the area have any ("number five alive!") eeeenput?
