The discussions have been with various organisations to find a good fit that will allow us to further the project without giving up too much control. Almost all organisations we have talked to where we might be a good fit would require a CLA with a copyright assignment, so this is not something that is going away even if we find a new “host”. Ideally we would like to be a sub-org of an existing 501(3)c, with our own governance and policies regarding our source code. As it currently stands there are no issues with the governance of the source code. If Agendaless were to go “evil” there are quite a few of us that would be more than happy to fork the code and continue under the existing license that the code exists under.

The copyright on the Try Pyramid site is just one of those things. The source code is freely available to anyone and everyone, you get to decide whether you want to contribute under the existing terms and conditions, continuing to hammer on this point won’t get you very far. This is a slow moving process and moves at the pace of volunteers. Bert JW Regeer -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
