MozLDAP folks, No doubt this is an oft repeated request, but here goes.
Is there a particular reason that Netscape/iPlanet/whoever wishes to retain the C-SDK under the NPL, but is content to release NSPR and NSS under the MPL/GPL combination? If not, any chance of a license change to MPL/GPL? I'm writing an LDAP aware app, and would like an LDAP and TLS capable client component, but the rest of my libraries are GPL'ed. Thus, no go with the C-SDK. Of course, I can use the OpenLDAP libraries, but its TLS capabilities are a tad poor, and rely on OpenSSL which isn't compatible with the GPL. Apart from anything else, my crypto capabilities are provided via NSS. I guess that I'll just have to do without TLS for the moment. Just seems a pity that the C-SDK maintainers don't want to (or can't) go that last little bit. Is this a conscious decision (ie to retain NPL), or is it just that it's been left in this state from previous releases and no-one's bothered to reconcile the license with so much else of the Mozilla codebase? Cheers, Neil
