Generally speaking, we should wait for contributors to submit their patches to Twisted through the normal process and not go grabbing stuff from downstream. Canonical's IP policy is weird, and it is not clear to me that a patch necessarily has to be MIT licensed to be accepted into Ubuntu's Twisted, since Ubuntu itself is a commercial work. -glyph _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
