The thing is this: who can decide is the owner of the project. Since no one owns it, who decides it's licence? Actually most of the code has been written by Konstantin and if we change the Licence, he would be entitled to sue us for not following the licence he used for the project. Also not all of the cim code is actually his code, but some parts are from some other projects, like libicq2000 or libmsn. We can't change that! OTOH I think the OpenSSL code is in Konst's work, so if we change Licence just for that I don't think he would be in such a big disagreement. Yet who wishes to take this responsability? The less painful options are these: 1 - Leave as it is and simply say no to Lubomir 2 - Make him use the GNUtls version of centerim 3 - Work to add support to NSS -- Stéphane -- _______________________________________________ Centerim-devel mailing list [email protected] http://centerim.org/mailman/listinfo/centerim-devel http://www.centerim.org/
