No, not yet - I figured before I made such a big change I should get us up to date with the latest GetPot, which is turning out to be a little more involved than initially anticipated. In particular, when I was hunting down Frank Schaefer's email address I noticed that he'd changed the licensing on us: his LGPL now "is only valid in case that it is not used for the production or development of applications dedicated to military industry". Now, I'm pretty sure NASA's not going to turn FIN-S into the next reentry warhead simulator, and I don't *think* INL is using nuclear reactors research as a cover for designing the next superweapon, but regardless we're not going to put anything critical into libMesh that violates the Open Source Definition. So unless he agrees to go back to the pure LGPL the idea of "submitting upstream" becomes moot - we'll have to fork version 1.1, that being the latest I can find without the "unofficial peace version" of the license. --- Roy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Join us December 9, 2009 for the Red Hat Virtual Experience, a free event focused on virtualization and cloud computing.
