No, this will not be an issue at all for a number of reasons: 1. The FSFE fiduciary project is very open to any kind of Free Source licensing. They are not exclusively GPL -- this is explained in the Fiduciary Policy document I sent in my second email. As the author of that code, you will maintain the current rights that you have. 2. In their copyright transfer agreement, they explicitly give you the same rights that I gave you (as best I can see from a quick reading of it -- please verify this and let me know if you have any issues). This is explained in the copyright transfer agreement, which was included in my first email. 3. Before signing any transfer of my copyright, I will ensure that the license I have given back to you will not be diluted in any way. I have already indicated this to them, and I am sure it is no problem. Bottom line: their interest is to ensure that the code remains free, not to restrict your rights. > > -landonf > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Using Tomcat but need to do more?
