Before we take -any- action, we need to have one policy across the ASF.
*shrug*, this is [EMAIL PROTECTED], so I'm going to stick to httpd specifically
for now, and that can feed in or not to any policy the ASF desires to
later impose :-)
Our research hopefully contributes substantially to that policy. But
we can't enable per-project balkanization when it comes to complying
with US law.
Sure, but I don't have the legal advice, and I'm trying to ask some
targetted questions to see what other options there are. I've been
studying law, for my sins ;-) Anyway, I'm not taking responsibility
for monitoring any paralell discussions elsewhere within the ASF
and trying to ensure coherency.
Just to be clear, I brought Cliff back to the discussion to oversee our
conclusions, and hopefully bring that sanity back to the rest of the
foundation. If we go overboard, or don't take sufficient action, he
can help fix it early, and then pass on this policy across the rest.
E.g. httpd + mod_ssl + openssl is a great case study (lol - also the first
case study) and once we are done everyone else should have an easy time
following.
