First, the problem is usually with Israel and its supporters - those who are preach hatred against Jews should simply be dismissed and marginalized. But this is off topic on this list. This is not a political project, it's a software development/L10N/I18N one. More (indirectly) related, the issue of licenses and who develop what, open source licenses usually mean that to a certain extent you are free to use the software as you wish, and that **you don't have to give anything in exchange**. So I don't understand how having Israelis participate in the development can be relevant, whether from a practical point of view (it's 100% win, you get code for free, you're not relinquishing any right or becoming dependent on anything, you're simply giving nothing in exchange) or from a moral point of view (you're not helping them kill or expell more Arabs in any way). Hope that clears it up. Best regards _______________________________________________ General mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.arabeyes.org/mailman/listinfo/general
