There is of course time and money needed to make applications open
source;
generic instead of specific. The companies that paid the app, are free
to do
so within their own timeframe. All announcements made, where discussed
with
and approved by the Foundation. All apps will be MPL.
I personally think that organization shouldn't announce their product to
be open source if they have the intention to make it open source later.
The point is that we have to communicate well which MMBase applications
exist and who is responsible for the application. Some applications will
be the responsibility of the MMBase developers (such as media,
editwizards, etc.) the responsibility of the other applications will be
by the organization that made them. If they stop to support their
application it will be removed from the list. I really think it's not
much more complicated then this. And it shouldn't be more complicated.
