Ok ... I asked Velo about the licenses ... initially FM was GPL ... he changed it to Apache but changed it back to GPL because " cause at the time changing to ASL wasn't real" (Don't quite know what he meant with this ... guess he simply changed the license to Apache without doing the necessary housekeeping so he changed it back again).
So ... does this have any impact on the plans to donate? Is it now harder to donate or does it make stuff even easier?
