mjn3: regarding your last e-mail to the ml. What will the libm license be? non-commercial until sponsors picked up the devel costs. then i'd relicense as LGPL. commercial dispensations on request for a fee, where fees would count toward devel costs as well at least, that's my current thinking Hopefully it will work hmm? you will get sponsors we'll see. not all that concerned about it. there probably aren't that many people _really_ using libm. but given the amount of work involved, and the skill set required (how many other numerical analysts do you know doing embedded work besides me?), i didn't want to simple give it away from the get-go
