+ website
    + Added Harbour website (except art, docs and stat subdirs)
    ; TODO: configure automatic mechanism to extract site from
            here and regularly updload to sf.net web area
    ; TODO: Clean HTML code, remove unused picture/files, avoid JS
            Any takers?
    ; NOTE: Please make modifications to website code only in
            SVN, then upload the content to web server manually.
            IOW never update on web server directly.

<H2><A NAME="16"></A>2.10. Why was the GPL chosen as the licence for Harbour?<A NAME="WhyGPL"></A></H2>
<p>That's really a question best asked of each of the Harbour copyright
holders. A simple answer would be that the GPL is seen as one of the more
restrictive
<A HREF="harbour13.html#FreeSoftware">free software</A> licences and, for
that reason more than any other, it appeared to give the maximum amount of
freedom and at the same time the correct degree of control over use and
distribution.</p>
