Window Managers "The performance of desktop computers increases year by year. This gives the programmers great opportunities to further improve the desktop experience of the users. However, what should you do when you have an old computer that is not capable of running the latest and hottest software? How can you benefit from the great software that is X.org when you can't run a desktop that takes advantage of its best features? No need for upgrading your PC, when you can have a usable alternative with the current one. Let me introduce you to Enlightenment E17 - the window manager with minimal hardware requirements that may amaze you."

Okay, Enlightenment is released under the BSD license, not a copyleft license.

So while they have released the sources, with all the attendant issues, they're at least being (dare I say it?) enlightened about it.

The BSD-license _is_ a copyleft license. A "weak" one, but none the less still copyleft. I prefer the MIT-license, since it's even more permissive and best of all - it's even shorter ;)

"A "weak" one, but none the less still copyleft"

Or "strong", depending on your point of view ;)
