Uhh.... What? I'm confused... Was somebody asking for ReactOS to be relicensed from GPL to another one? I don't remember seeing a message in the mailing list about it.... Although, making it able to be licensed LGPL is a good idea, especially if people want to make distributions with closed source drivers included. What brought this on though?
First and last warning: one can speak only about the parts of code he owns. Everything else is property of respected authors, who can decide what to do with their own code.
Even that I'm not really fan of GNU, the GPL and LGPL licenses seems to really suit us best for now.
