In addition to housing plugins/themes that the original developer (and thus license assigner) have no involvement in (thereby forcing later community maintainers to operate under a license they may have issues with), it's also a place for developers who are still learning to work within the safety net that the community can provide. Allowing multiple licenses, some of which cannot be incorporated into others, we add a significant burden to our developers. If the -extras repository is to be community maintained, the members of the community should not have to do a license review every time they work on a ticket. Additionally, because we keep the entry requirements for -extras so low, it benefits the people supporting newer developers to not have to say "plugin x does something similar, but you can't use that because plugin y that you're working on is a different license. When (hopefully soon?) we get our plugin and theme directories up and running, we should be much more license agnostic, but on our own servers, we are justified in being more picky. To torture an analogy, my friends may drink MGD, but I'm not going to keep it in my fridge for them. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFJN/LumQpMBUWJpdsRAlFCAKDHhDY4+nHwnbsl1yk9qp2ScSJzBACg0wIG pIR3yegwSwilURjAG5Cy1e8= =v3NH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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 -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
