Saw this earlier, but some RL issues prevented me from posting it immediately...

The BlueEyedOS project has recently switched to the Limited General Public License (LGPL). Here's what Guillaume Maillard has to say:

"Seeing the lack of new members joining the project in the last 6 months, I considered a complete switch to a full opensource mode under LGLP license. Now it's offcial, B.E.OS is under LGPL license. To more details about this decision, read my column. We will soon open a CVS server (fully available to public) and post information about it (access, setup, patch submission...)."

Guillaume also wrote more about his decision in a column titled, Transfer of Power, which provides a bit of history on the project, what it has achieved, and why he chose to use the LGPL.
