David,
Not at all. You made a choice, that's all. I think I remember reading 
somewhere, that those who write the code get to chose the licence. :-)

This is where we disagree. I believe this is a single project with many 
releases/branches. ref.

This sounds like a proposed split. It's exactly the opposite of what I've 
been trying to do. What happens when a release/branch is made obsolete by a 
new one (e.g. Eigerstein -> Dachstein)? Do we create a bunch of new 
directories and records for each new release/branch? I belive this would 
lead to fragmentation.

>Whatever came of trying to use GNU Savannah?

I was evaluating it a while ago. The last I read they were abandoning the 
SF code in favor of phpGroupWare.
http://savannah.gnu.org/docs/savannah-plan.html

I have an account there. Does anyone else?
