Mmmkay. I'm taking deep breaths... :-]
For instance, I see that genesis-1.0 includes a software license
for Clover? News to me, but I confess that genesis has been a bit
of an unknown to me...
from
Product: Clover
License: Open Source License, 0.x, 1.x
Issued: Sun May 14 2006 21:59:13 CDT

Clause 5 of the Clover license says "The Licensee may copy the
Software for back-up purposes only. The Licensee may not assign or
otherwise transfer the Software to any third party." IANAL ADNWTB,
however, this gives me cause for concern. Can you explain what
this is about?
I have no idea what "IANAL ADNWTB" means. But Clover grants
licenses for open source projects. I used the license they granted
to me to be used to run the site builds. This is shared
configuration, which was checked into genesis to simplify the
configuration of modules which need it to run the plugin.
Sorry..

I don't think we can put this license in on ibiblio. I also don't
think it should be public in our source tree... I understand that
this may make things more difficult, but it sure seems to me that
we're violating the terms of the license agreement... Can you
convince me otherwise?
