Hi Benoit, 1) I agree. I missed the "CouchDB Server" Title. Menu items are ok though. I will refactor the title in the next version.
2) I don't see a problem here. The codebase was initially created by Jan and he chose the Apache License 2.0. That License is still intact, independent from where the source code is located. Anyway there are a lot of components that are not in the "official" repo like curl, otp, icu, spidermokey, etc. I mean we all know that CouchDB has a lot of components. The OS X app wrapper is just a small addition. Your argument about source locations, copyrights and being "official" is also valid for the Windows build. It contains all these components not in the official repo. 3) Agreed about the ABOUT. I will add a link. - Hans On Jun 18, 2012, at 10:06 AM, Benoit Chesneau wrote: > hi, > > I have some problems with the current binary linked on the homepage. > Not with the binary by itself which works but with the branding. > > 1.
