No. If I turn to a construction tool that comprises the functions I want in addition to what is available in the POSIX make(1) tool, then I will want to construct my project in such a way that establishes a linkage between my source code and the construction tool under the terms of the GPL. The GPL prevents me from using OMake for anything other than what I already use Make. That's no good for me. -- j h woodyatt <jhw@wetware.com> markets are only free to the people who own them. ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
