OT: Opinion, best open source license to use?

[Dave Germiquet]

Hi Lennart,

Yes. Thats why I was thinking GPLv2 or GPLv3. So it'll be more
advantageous for them to use it and improve.

The don't have to give source code if they use it just for them.

 Want to send emails that can't be read by someone else

Some people ask "Why encrypt email?" The reason is simple: privacy. As
it stands, getting access to an email message is very easy to do.
Whether it's because of an email server being hacked, the email being
intercepted, or even laws that allow governments to go through all
electronic messages sent. You have a right to your privacy, but it's
up to you to protect that right.

* Encrypt with my pgp key which can be found here:
