Definitely not impossible to achieve. I remember the relicensing of Mozilla back many moons ago. It took them the better part of a year but they did due diligence to attempt to contact every author, and in the end the license was changed. Authors that rejected the idea had their code removed and/or replaced. The bigger question is whether people, and especially someone like Gary would even consider such a change. If not, then the whole point is moot. If someone says no then you either replace the code or not move forward with a license change. I am not suggesting that we should change, but if anyone has a pet project (wink) that they might want to deploy in the future, a license that would not restrict usage on a the Apple Store (Both desktop and mobile) might be something to consider. -- Michael Petch CApp::Sysware Consulting Ltd.
