I don't believe you've answered what Paul was really asking, though. Is it not true that OpenMeetings requires Red5 in order to function properly? So that, if we cannot distribute Red5 as part of an ASF distro, because of the license, we also cannot distribute a functional OpenMeetings product? Or is there some alternative to Red5 that could be distributed instead? -- Martin Cooper > > > > On Wed, Oct 28, 2009 at 1:01 AM, Paul Querna <p...@querna.org> wrote: >> On Tue, Oct 27, 2009 at 4:22 AM, Sebastian Wagner <seba.wag...@gmail.com> >> wrote: >>> hi, >>> >>> we would like to propose Openmeetings project to join the incubator. >>> >>> Full Proposal: >>> http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/OpenmeetingsProposal >>> >>> Quick summary: >>> OpenMeetings is Web Conferencing application that fits into educational or >>> business sector.
