Some code like yacc has already been ported to Go can you explain why licensing under the gpl the goal? i don't want to start a license war, but i have a practical problem with the gpl. it makes my life harder because if i use it, then i have to justify it and prove i'm in compliance. since i'd rather write code than compliance statements, go versions of plan 9 commands would be less useful to me were they gpl'd. - erik
