Which is what I thought I said :-) It's not just ASF though it takes two to tango ;-) One option is for TDF to carry on with a copy left license and OOo, Apache. There may or may not be practical alternatives but even if it is the former case we need to agree we can work together. One side seemingly trying to coerce the other into a particualar license (or anything else at this stage) is going to be counter-productive. It's why I think we need to get the agreement of working together first and then discuss details of licensing strategy etc. One step at a time. Let's get some TDF people on the commit list to show we at least intend to be united in open source if not united in every detail. --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org > -- Ian Ofqual Accredited IT Qualifications The Schools ITQ www.theINGOTs.org +44 (0)1827 305940 You have received this email from the following company: The Learning Machine Limited, Reg Office, 36 Ashby Road, Tamworth, Staffordshire, B79 8AQ.
