What ever happened with the Rhino licensing issue?

It has been pushed down several levels on my stack because of other emergencies. :-(


The basic effort requested by the Mozilla team is to contact each and every past contributor of Rhino (about 40 people) and ask for a license change and copyright reassignment, so that we have something ASF-distribution-compatible. Then, we also need to figure out how to re-integrate Chris' changes into the official trunk, on which Antonio should be working on through some students at his local university.

All-in-all, I'm a bit pessimistic about the chances for success if not more people join the effort. There's a willingness from the Mozilla front to relicense using a more liberal license, but the real work needs to be done by us, and is not to be underestimated.

Gory details so far can be found at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=236108
