I don't want to risk tainting the AL2 code with GPL fragments, and I think that risk increases the closer together we bring differently licensed source code. There might also be license technicalities like "I can checkout the whole -extras repo, so you distribute code under the GPL, so it all has to be GPL". I believe our repositories should house only Apache 2.0 licensed code. -1 for allowing other licenses. -Matt --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to habari-dev@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/habari-dev -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
