All of it, per OSD #1 and the usual understanding of "aggregate". The OED3 defines the relevant sense of "aggregate" as "To gather (articles, videos, or other items of digital content) from the Internet and present them to the user on a single web site, application, etc." But what ASF seems to care about is: "What, as a matter of policy, should aggregates published by the ASF contain?" That has little to do with license compatibility within the aggregation, and everything to do with what guarantees ASF (or any similar publisher) wishes to provide to its customers. I happen to think that their A, B, and X lists make a lot of sense and are substantially correct. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan [email protected] Evolutionary psychology is the theory that men are nothing but horn-dogs, and that women only want them for their money. --Susan McCarthy (adapted) _______________________________________________ License-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://projects.opensource.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/license-discuss
