I forgot to address this.
1.1 is pretty close to done. If you wanted to shift your work to be based on
1.1, I think you'd be pretty safe.
As for CPAN vs. upstream to us, I don't have a good feel for what would be the
right answer there. There certainly is value in both directions (keeping it
separate from upstream and from including it upstream).
Let me just ask one logistical question that may help guide down the right
road: in order to keep all the IP clean in the code base, we require anyone who
submits more-than-trivial patches to sign an Open MPI 3rd party contribution
agreement:
http://www.open-mpi.org/community/contribute/
IANAL and this is not legal advice, but my understanding is that this is the
Apache contribution agreement essentially with s/Apache/Open MPI/g. It allows
us to distribute any code you contribute under the BSD license.
Would you -- or your employer, if they own the code that you generate -- be
able to sign this document?
