Hoi,
There are two things to consider;
- when you develop using the Wave protocol the license covers your work
- Wave is based on the Google Web Toolkit
The Google Web Toolkit has a different license, it is licensed under the
Apache license. So again I do not share your opinion that we can not use the
technology involved. I will say that we cannot contribute back. So I think
the uncooperative shoe is on our foot not Google's.
Thanks,
GerardM
