To all concerned, Effective immediately, Network Appliance retracts our previous request for License approval from the OSI for the Network Appliance Common Public License.
We erred. Upon re-review we had earlier missed the clause in the common public license that declares a copyright with IBM as the sole entity to approve change. We understand the desire to have one "Common Public License" with no messy variations. We think it is an excellent license, hence our desire for our own small variation of it. The issue that had our attorney's concerned was IBM as the sole steward of change and NY as the applicable law. We heartily apologize for the inconvenience to the readership of this list and the OSI board. PS: my moniker is particularly appropriate. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Anthony Topper email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Appliance, Inc.
