I raised a number of concerns about the license last May:

Sean wrote, "I expect that we will modify it in the near term as we
gain a better understanding of how third parties will want to use
Jive".

So... it's been seven months... anything new to report?

I do remain quite concerned that the platform is becoming more closed.
Both the license and, as far as I understand it, the design of the Jive
software itself make Jive platforms much less amenable to customization.
And I'm terribly concerned that the comments about discontinuing work on
Softsqueeze hint at a future of fatter Jive clients that we neither can,
nor are willfully allowed to, tweak.

Thanks,

Peter
