I for one would like to see the gnu library copyright restrictions changed.

There's some freely redistributable software I'm writing in C++, and it
will probably be necessary to give out binaries for those without enough
Unix experience to intall g++. I really can't do that unless the copyright
restrictions change, because although my code is freely redistributable,
I'd rather not place it under the GPL.

I would, however, be more than happy to help people get g++ and libg++ should
they ask for it. Our site already archives both. 

The GNU report was good news. I'm glad that Stallman is thinking of moving
in that direction. The world needs libg++! I think that the current terms
are too restrictive, and that changing them will remove most of the
objections people have to using GNU library software.

If libg++ becomes as popular as it should, a lot of good things will happen.
It will get used a lot, people will find and fix bugs, and they'll add their
own classes. The class concept of C++ is the most exciting thing in programming
I've seen in a while. No more reinventing the wheel! Reusable code! ADTs!

This will pave the way for faster and better software development, something
everyone needs. I for one get tired of reinventing much of the same code in
my projects. I'd be more than happy to contribute what I could. Heck, if
the library restrictions change, I'd probably willing to donate some of my
stuff to GNU.
