Hi all,

I have received this letter about ng-spice. I am going to write a detailed
answer to Giffuni, an answer I will put under the FAQ. This is a good
question. I will submit it to the list for comments/suggestions.

Paolo

Subject: NG-Spice... Why the GPL?

Hello;

I did sometime ago some maintainance on FreeBSD's SPICE port, and I was
sort of interested in your project but you seem to want to GPL something
that is already available and working reliably under a free license. I
don't like this (I will help out another project), but I respect your
intentions.

I wonder, however, would you have any fixes that you would like to
contribute to the FreeBSD port under a BSD license?

best regards,

     Pedro.
