</div>Because he doesn't want to? *shrug* Beyond that, I don't think it<br>
really matters. Bruce has his opinion on the topic, others disagree.<br>
I *highly* doubt anyone will be swayed from their position (as you<br>
might have noticed, license discussions tend to take on a rather<br>
religious tone among software developers), so I'm not sure it's worth<br>
starting up a debate that will, in all probability, lead nowhere.<br>

But given that people are considering expended a lot of work to work around and expunge his code, it's at least worth trying to convince Bruce of the merits of making his code available under MIT. It might save some people some avoidable work if Bruce can be convinced.<br>
