Hi Pat,
The problem is that the current administrator of the project is the legal owner of the code under copyright, and adding new administrators without consent violates his/her rights as the owner. I've tried to work out an 'advance directive' statement that would allow project owners/admins to protect against this (and tried to engage some serious legal folks), but have been unable to come up with anything satisfactory. :(
Ah - thanks for the explanation. Looking at the copyright in license.txt:Copyright (c) 2002-2006 Sean Chittenden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and contributors
Copyright (c) 2001 Wai-Sun "Squidster" Chia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Does "and contributors" leave any wiggle room? Say someone currently on the project with non-admin rights? Or someone who helped write it, like Ross? Also, its an MIT license, does that help?
Just trying to avoid the nuclear option of a fork since in fact we aren't forking the code at all (well, at least not yet).
