GPL virus?
Reasonable people can disagree about the relative merits of the GPL
vs. more BSD-like licenses, so can we please avoid emotive language
...
My view is that since both the Scala compiler and libraries and the
Eclipse plugin are under BSD-style licenses, then it would make sense
for projects like scala[xz] which aim to feed into them to do the
same, otherwise there'll be issues with relicensing later.
