Original OSNews Interviews After Axel Dorfler and Robert Szeleney, it is Kristian 'Vanders' van der Vliet's turn to answer the Five Questions. Vanders is one of the primary developers behind Syllable, the fork of (the now dead) AtheOS which saw the light of day July, 2002, because several AtheOS developers were concerned about the project's long-term goals. Syllable is free/open source software under the GPL license.

You are wrong.

Most of Syllable source code is not under the GPL but the LGPL.

It is perfectly possible to write proprietary applications for Syllable. But don't expect to get a large following from that.

Ah, thanks. I couldn't find anything on the site indicating that, so it seemed as if all of it was GPL only. Appreciate the clarification.

It is covered in the FAQ ( http://www.syllable.org/docs/developers/faq.html#1_2 ) but I'll try to make that information more prominent.
