Thats fine, we have time.
I am busy recruiting people for the project and preparing.
As I said, I dont need to be the lead, but am willing to do so if allowed.
It seems to me that the project is not allow to host non-OSI content on sf.net.
If they are allowed by the old license of OOO, it does not mean that
it is allowed to post those non-free binaries, which have no source
code on the sf.net site. It is making sf.net a host for proprietary
software.
6. LICENSING AND OTHER TERMS APPLYING TO CONTENT POSTED ON THE
SourceForge SITES:
Use, reproduction, modification, and other intellectual property
rights to data stored on the SourceForge Sites will be subject to
licensing arrangements that may be approved by SourceForge as
applicable to such Content. For the SourceForge Site SourceForge.net,
use, reproduction, modification, and other intellectual property
rights to data stored in CVS or as a file release and posted by any
user on SourceForge.net ("Source Code") shall be subject to the
OSI-approved license applicable to such Source Code, or to such other
licensing arrangements as may be approved by SourceForge.net as
applicable to such Source Code.
Now, this means that sf.net has rights to the source, in return for
hosting. But there is no source to be found.
Please correct me if I am wrong on this, of course I am not a lawyer,
and I don't know about the license in detail.
thanks,
mike
