erland, I think you have explained this well and are really getting at the crux of the problem, which is that it is very difficult to craft a concise license which allows people to do the kind of things we'd like them to be able to do with Jive, without enabling a competitor to just nab the whole thing. Specifically, I am having trouble with 1) the whole issue of patches and 2) making it clear that the LPSL does not apply to separate applets you develop yourself. The trouble with handing this all off to a lawyer is that all these subtleties are lost and the language ends up becoming either more confusing or excessively locked down.
I am quite open to suggestions, even of specific language that addresses this. I will re-read the license and continue to think about this, as it's something we would really like to improve. Sorry there has not been any movement since the last time this came up. I do think it is possible to get it sewn up a little better, but it's trickier than it might seem at first glance.
