Hi,

We have taken up an awful lot of bandwidth on both the jboss developer and 
user lists discussing these licensing issues. I would like to propose that 
general "philosophy" discussions be moved to a different list, and that 
specific questions by a contributor to or a distributor of jboss be sent to the 
board at [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Of course, I recognize that this suggestion may be met with criticism. The 
jboss-dev and jboss-user mailing lists are unmoderated, and if anyone 
disagrees with me they may--of course--continue to post license 
discussions to these lists. There is no need to flame me; please just ignore 
me. :-)

However, I have taken the liberty of starting an open-subscription egroups 
mailing list, called jbosslicense. You can subscribe at jbosslicense-
[EMAIL PROTECTED] I suspect that announcements of license 
changes and the like would continue to be made on jboss-dev and jboss-
user.

Those who feel that the "broader jboss community" needs to be warned 
about the implications of the jboss license can probably rest assured that 
the issue has gotten a good airing, and that interested participants will 
move over to jbosslicense with them.

This is not meant to demean the importance of this licensing discussion. 
People who intend to distribute jboss naturally will have a keen interest, 
and probably appreciate the comments from all points of view. This is just a 
suggestion that seems to me to make sense, considering the continuing 
high volume of traffic related to this discussion.
