Hey folks, Just a short note to invite anyone who's interested in helping the XNS Public Trust Organization (XNSORG) decide on the best open source license for the XNS technology to join the mailing list we've set up. Brian Behlendorf and Larry Rosen suggested that this license-discuss list was best for specific questions, so I'd like to use our list for the general discussion and only come back here for opinions on specifics. You can subscribe at <http://www.xns.org/lists/> or use the addresses below.

The code will be open source once it's prepped for release and once we settle on the appropriate open source license (very possibly one or more existing licenses). You can read a variety of white papers and other information on XNS at <http://www.xns.org/>. We very much want to do this right, but we're concerned that our situation may be a bit unusual, and since we're not experts in open source licensing, we wanted to involve those had more experience before coming up with something that would ruffle feathers unnecessarily. Thanks! cheers... -Adam ______________________________________________________________________ Adam C.
