Hello gentlemen, I've been very happy to discover SLF4J. Log4j has long needed a rework. SLF4J is a fresh wind :) It can blow Log4J out of the water. If it goes MIT me thinks. Ceki> Do we want Big Iron (insert your least favorite IT company here) Ceki> to legally pirate an open source project, say logback? As SLF4J gains popularity it will likely be perceived as same in kind to Log4J. However Big Co-s will rather "pirate" the conveniently licensed alternative. I don't see how Log4J can be replaced this way. IMO Logback needs MIT/ASL. cheers, Anton P.S. "cross-posting" to my blog :) http://atagunov.blogspot.com/2008/05/slf4j-beyond-log4j.html
