let me add the list of parts which cannot be used without either massaging the author, or not at all:
- GP Orcullo's picnc driver: licensed as GPL3. Author agreed to relicense. Asked him yesterday. Reason for integration: I want this in, and I want to stop yet another case in the making where a certain contribution doesnt fall within the personal interest of gatekeepers, and hence falls on its face like lots of other contributions before. - https://github.com/renenglish/pb2json protobuf2json converter, one direction only. Potentially helps the away-from-NML transition, and Javascitpt UI's. Bugged him today #2 times in 2 months to license in liberal terms (has no license at all, but author promised he will attach some, hopefully compatible). - http://code.google.com/p/corbasim/source/checkout, which contains a C++ JSON/protobuf translator which does both directions. Same reason as above. GPL3. asked author first time today. gut feeling: relicensing unlikely. That is my prodding list of _the last two days_. Of course there are alternatives, tick your box: - reinvent basic supporting functionality 'in a clean roomed way', bugs and maintenance obligations included - keep using NML until the cows come home (in 2 of the above cases) If we keep dragging feet, at some point we will have a crossover of returns: it will be easier to throw away the GPL2 code and baggage like NML and Tcl, and start with the relicensable core code and postwar supporting components. - Michael ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How ServiceNow helps IT people transform IT departments: 1.
