Thanks for the support Jo - I think this is a case where both groups do not feel like experts in this field. I know Chris Holmes went and talked to the EFF in order to sort out the options for GeoServer.
Is there anyone we can ask for help? I have the impression that the option proposed by the OSGeo board was "okay", but that the sales pitch was missing. The thing to sign was all about what the code contributor was giving up; with none of the responsibilities of OSGeo documented. The code contributors could decide to trust the OSGeo foundation; but it would be a better sales pitch if the charter and so on were locked down. Apparently this kind of thing is quite normal, but there was no way of telling that at the time. Cheers, Jody > On Thu, May 24, 2007 at 12:00:07PM -0400, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > >> PS.
