actually, in the case of xfree86, that wasn't the bsd license. that was the MIT X license.<br>the bsd license dropped its advertising clause a loooong time ago...but to be safe you'd have to check the exact text they use for that project.
<br>the most modern version of the bsd license is compatible with the GPL.<br><br><br>here's a suggestion for mythweb:<br>frontend profile management.<br>i think it would be a lot nicer if the frontends had remote settings manipulation...you set up...say...2 profiles of frontend settings for 4 frontends...you do that on mythweb.
<br>then on the frontends, all you need is a remote that you can hit 1 or 2 on...so the frontend knows to request config profile 1 or 2.<br>why would this be useful?<br>for one, if you have multiple frontends on the same type of hardware (
e.g. you bought three PCs / Mac Minis / etc at the same time for frontend work), it would be the only way to clone the settings to all of them as far as i know.<br>for another, it would allow you to set up the frontend settings before you set up the frontend...meaning you might never even *need* to buy a keyboard for a frontend, let alone bring one into your living room.
<br><br>(hell...i think mythtv-setup shouldn't exist as an app...make it a webpage...move some of the options into a config webserver hard-linked into the backend...move others into a backend profile set up via mythweb, like the frontend profile idea)
