Hmmm... I would prefer to keep the UI pure GPL. Usually my preference is: - LGPL for anything library-sh - GPL for anything that sounds like an application The web UI is application imho. We could have some bits of it in LGPL, like the base page classes and the raw components, but I'm quite -1 on having the catalog configuration pages go LGPL. Which hmmm... brings me to the catalog itself. One cannot do basically anything without touching the catalog, so if we follow this line of thought we should turn the catalog interfaces and implementation into a less restrictive license as well? > - this proposal does not help the most popular addition (which is the > creation of additional WFS output formats).

Moved in a more central place, yes, turned in LGPL, hmmm... don't like that much. I mean, if we follow this line we end up turning LGPL significant portions of GeoServer, at that point we may as well change its license solid Cheers Andrea -- Andrea Aime OpenGeo - http://opengeo.org Expert service straight from the developers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
