As of version 0.7 of Chandler, OSAF is changing the license for the Chandler desktop product to the Apache 2.0 License (our Cosmo and Scooby codebases are already Apache Licensed). Previous versions of Chandler were licensed under the GNU GPL because we thought that we would pursue a MySQL style dual licensing scheme as part of the sustainability plans for the Foundation. We no longer plan to pursue this kind of scheme in order to acheive our sustainability goals, and we want to reduce the number of open source licenses in use at OSAF.

Those interested in the complete discussion on this topic can look at the archives of the OSAF 'general' mailing list: <http:// lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/general/2006-May/000248.html>
