Correct, my usage of the word "should" was absolutely informal. This should (pun intended) sound just fine for a native speaker, but could have caused problems if understood as legally bounding. FWIW, look how the GPL FAQ [http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html] uses the word "should". I find it very close to the way I used it in my amateur explanation. BR, Alex Cohn PS I often find the reactions to licensing questions on this and other open software lists intimidating. I believe that open software should (pun intended) be promoted, among other ways, by making it easier to understand and use, even at risk of somebody unintentionally misunderstanding of some legal fine print. If, to use free software, the developers must (pun intended) pay the lawyers, maybe it would be healthier (and cheaper) to pay for software? _______________________________________________ Libav-user mailing list [email protected] http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/libav-user
