By the way, I looked at the archives and couldn't find WHAT is the document which had to be translated.
Can anybody shed more light on the issue?
Thanks,
AFAIU, it seems there is possible issue with certain provisions of the Israeli law that governs allocation of funds via the Ministry of Science Chief Scientist to Israeli high tech companies and the GPL -
The law has the very sensible provision that companies that receive such funcding from the Chief Scientist cannot sell or give their IP to foriegn companies or bodies, so that said companies wont the do the old "open an Israeli subsdiary, get funds from MOS to develop IP, sell them for 1$ to home company" trick or variations thereof.
However, this may have certain implication with the GPL obligation to license copyright of software that is derivative work of GPLed software. The help of the chief scientist and staff is needed to make this issue clearer.
And yes, we (as in hamakor), has offered the FSF our help in this matter before, via RMS. It seems the SMTP monster gotten our mail though :-)
I'll be sending another email to Bradly shortly...
Cheers, Gilad
