I never said the GPL was a roadblock for people contributing code. I said it was a roadblock for people using it.
Pure and simple: someone works for an employer whose policy is not to use GPL'd code. Therefore, they cannot use any code I publish under the GPL license.
No such policy exists (that I've heard of) for permissively licensed code.
> Now you bring up 'use' which is different from 'contributing'.
You're the one who said "contributing"! :-) I initially said "use" several comments ago: "I want to maximize the number of people using my software."
> Oh, and I'd like to take the opportunity to thank you for Wingo, really like it!
Thanks :-) Come hang out on IRC/FreeNode at `#wingo`. (Although it's kind of dead.)

Ah, yes you did, however the claim you initially referenced talked about contributing code, not using. >Thanks :-) Come hang out on IRC/FreeNode at `#wingo`. (Although it's kind of dead.) Maybe I will dust off irssi and drop by :)
