Okay. I have read that article :-) Point well taken. But I'll also bear in mind point 3! I mentioned lilypond - I've got a significant change to the functionality of a module waiting to go in (I don't want to do it until 2.14 is out) and I had a bit of a shock as to how they handled copyright. Okay, I'm still putting the stuff in anyway, but I think they've done several stupid things that could be asking for trouble and I didn't appreciate getting a post-facto shock! > Anyhow - there is some merit in writing something clearer about this; > please can you write it up, and mail it to me; and we'll get the tech > steering group to review / edit / approve it. > I read Groklaw a lot, which is why I think we should actively try to be both up-front and correct, but don't worry - as a European I think PJ's standing advice to (-: ask an attorney before you blow your nose :-) is rather OTT. I'll try and do something this weekend (and sorry for not responding this morning - I don't know whether you do this stuff out-of-hours and won't see this til Monday) but my internet has been out all day :-( Cheers, Wol _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
