I want to raise this issue again if I may. The FlightGear Trust as an entity, somehow.
In my head we need and should be planning a kinda trust, for trademark, copyright and other issues. Think FG_ROOT.2120. The entity will achieve funds from various sources, and use them in the distribution of onlne services and marketing. This is a very important area, as recent debacle with sco/ibm =!= novel, and an issue with proflightsim == copyright issue. The one thing we can't step away from is the GPL, indeed the GPL3 might be better === patent's clause. I think we need to do GPL3 now, and hope to get sued, groklaw.net need some content ;-) and with cvs history as muppet in clown court. We also need engagement with using liveries and logos etc, indeed maybe pursue for sponsorship. Aaairlines etc will need some kinda valid address. Lets get a bit more "commercialsed".....We may have to x-license a bit, after all there is no way that the GPL and CAA data go together. CAA own it period.We just need to work with that information in an efficeient way. So whats involved? Trustees is what we want. So can the candidates step forward and reply. From this we will derive the discovery process of whats involved and actually start more enquiry.. I'm in UK pete in wales Willie in Glasgow James ? u in jimmy land? Curt ? usa Holland and dutch? Gijs hope u guys get the crosswind... Pete ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
