I am considering creating an open source project,
possibly using the google open source code site.
But I have a couple of questions.
1) In the terms of agreement it states.
a) Users residing in countries on the United States Office of
Foreign Assets Control sanction list, including Cuba, Iran, Libya,
North Korea, Sudan and Syria, may not post or access Content available
through the Google Code website.
I do not wish that developers from these or other countries be
restricted from accessing the code that I release.
I can live with the fact that they cannot access this code through
google since google inc is located in the U.S. and must abide by this
rule.
But I live in Canada.
Is it the case that I can still release the code that I want to the
google codesite
and still make it available by other means to anyone unable to access
it through Google?
b) Upon notice of my death Google will remove the site I create
(if I understand the agreement correctly).
Since I will be releasing code I mean to be open source I want
it to survive my (presumably eventual) death.
I am assuming that others will find my project(s) worth maintaining.
In other words, how do I create a project without being its permanent
owner?
I intend to use a very liberal licence (Appache or FreeBSD like).
Regards,
Ralph Boland
