Re: koraXs XML/INI/CFG parser for your bot -

I've already said that you don't need to GPL all the bot code, you just need to use a GPL compatiable license (i.e., don't make "further restrictions". I think you've already done that) and include a copy of GPL in the distribution. Make sure you have stated clearly which part is GPL code and which part is not. Then I'll be able to strip all the GPL code and use the rest in my proprietary software.
I'm also not saying BSD license is absolutely bad although I would prefer GPL. I'm also using BSD license for some of my programs.
Also please note that some parts of the codes in RACC are NOT YOURS. AT LEAST NOT FULLY YOURS. EVER. They are botman's and Jason Hutchens's (well, if botman doesn't care your doing this with his BSP Tools, then it will be no problem). The original authors don't want it to be used in proprietary program. You are actually allowing proprietary software developers use those codes which are NOT yours. I don't think anyone has freedom to do this. It's the original author's freedom to decide whether the code can be used in any way or not. I also don't think that's quite different from releasing some company's proprietary source code under a free software license without permission in some way.
I'm not going to continue on this topic anyway, because it's nothing to do with the topic of this thread. (well, sorry but perhaps I should take the first post to the private message or Jozef's own forum, [excuse]that's not completely offtopic anyway[/excuse]).
