Under ARTICLE II. Purpose "All software produced by the OpenSolaris Community shall be licensed to the public free of charge under one or more open source licenses approved by the Open Source Initiative. " This isn't just me being crazy. (In this context) Someone actually had it /right/ when they wrote that. Alanc is correct that today this still needs work. Most of my point is that I think in the next 3-6 months stuff will get putback which bring this closer to reality. From there any closed bins can be available in an ips repo. Whether this is a good goal or not is mostly opinion and sometimes technical. I can fully back any technical argument about this any day. The rules are already being broken. I was just hoping to see people work towards the end goal as it is today rather than change the rules to accommodate a lower standard for tomorrow. For every email fighting about the constitution we could have all written some code or helped a newcomer.. All opinions aside.. In the future I would hope there's clear accessible leadership from Sun so that when someone wants to help can do so in an efficient manner. The proposed changes are only on /paper/. Even if the constitution is changed to say we should XYZ.. Clearly it's not enforcible or respected so what's the point of arguing this so much? *ding* The OGB has no governing power except to get trivial things changed on the website. I'm out of this thread since it seems to be a waste of your time and mine.. Respectfully sorry for trying. ./C
