   Managed to get #libreapps core code running again and rss (more or less) now I need to set up #exim to do virtual users. :/ Can anyone help?

     @bjwebb I dunno about exim or what exactly you're trying to do, but maybe with /etc/aliases (see aliases(5) manpg) - or is that postfix only

     @freezombie I wanna receive mail for non-system users, but separately (not alias). Not sure which mailer would be best to use. #libreapps

     @tdobson Hadn't seen that. Not really of any use to me atm, but looks interesting. Hooray for open platforms like #laconica

     @bjwebb he does not make sensible points IMHO! :) if laconica was Eclipse or apache licenced i can bet that that lacnica addon wouldnt exist

     @tdobson Article may have been OTT, but many projects choose against GPL. Don't you think people release free software w/o being forced to?

     @bjwebb oh absolutely, free software advocates definitely do. But would linksys have released the WRT54G firmware without coercion?

     @bjwebb do you think codeweavers would still sponsor a full time WINE dev if it went back to being MIT licenced?

     @bjwebb do you think Microsoft would have still released linux kernel source for hyperV if it hadnt been in violation of the GPL?

     @tdobson From a pragmatic pov the GPL works well for some and permissive for others. My reasons for not liking GPL are based on my morals.

     @tdobson For each of those, there may be a case where the incompatibity or the legal bother of the GPL has prevented something beneficial.
