Cool. But that's far from clear when attaching in bugzilla. It just talks about the "Clutter Project" and strongly suggests that your patch cannot be used if the waiver is not accepted. I'll wait a few days in case someone manages to fix that. As well as making that text clearer, I guess you should try to only show it for relevant products in bugzilla. > for external documentation and bindings hosted on clutter-project.org > that we don't control (e.g. the clutter-sharp bindings) we cannot ask > for a copyright waiver simply because we don't have the copyright on > thme -- the copyright of the tutorial is (C) Openismus, not (C) Intel > Corporation. > > also if you don't want to waive your copyright *when contributing to > Clutter* then you can contact us and we'll start the loop with the Intel > lawyers for other copyright handling options. that's also what I wrote > in the original email. > > > The openedhand developers have not made any real effort to review the > > clutter tutorial anyway, despite my efforts to make it an official part > > of clutter rather than something outside of clutter/openedhand. > > I actually read the tutorial, and apart from the general "2.5D/3D" issue > that was reported, Which was mentioned to me by an openedhand person and was removed as soon as an openedhand person said they didn't like it, but I keep hearing pointless complaints about it even now. > the general feeling was that the tutorial just needed > some more examples and review from third party developers. Openedhand developers have warned people not to use it until openedhand developers have reviewed it, which they haven't.

Thanks. You haven't personally been part of the problem. -- Murray Cumming murr...@murrayc.com www.murrayc.com www.openismus.com -- To unsubscribe send a mail to clutter+unsubscr...@o-hand.com
