			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve released a few things as open source recently, under BSD or MIT license, hosted at Google Code.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://asljcore.googlecode.com/">asLJCore</a> is the primary component of the LiveJournal client <a href="/asLJ/">asLJ</a>, managing all communication with the server.</li>
<li><a href="http://cocoa-ydec.googlecode.com/">YDDecode</a> is a Cocoa class wrapped around some public-domain C code for decoding data encoded with <a href="http://www.yenc.org/">YEnc</a>.</li>
<li><a href="http://ncidstatusbarmenu.googlecode.com/">NCIDStatusBarMenu</a> is a utility to help pull NCID-based callerID notifications and display them as Growl notifications (among other things).  I&#8217;d been meaning to update it for nearly 2 years with no success and the future isn&#8217;t looking much better, so I&#8217;m releasing the source instead.</li>
</ul>
<p>(My musings on licensing below the cut.)<span id="more-170"></span>Permissive BSD/MIT licenses because in writing asLJ among other things, I&#8217;ve had to work to find libraries, frameworks, components, classes, etc., that weren&#8217;t GPL-licensed so that I could continue to choose how I wanted to release my software.  I am also heavily influenced by the simplicity of the BSD and MIT licenses compared to the lengthy GPL (and while the LGPL ought to be workable for many libraries, I couldn&#8217;t quite wrap my head around the language of it&#8211;the LGPL is several paragraphs of modification to the GPL).</p>
<p>(The <a href="http://openbsd.org/lyrics.html#43">song lyrics and commentary for OpenBSD4.3</a> have a lot to do with how I feel about GPL versus BSD/MIT.)</p>
