Maybe I should not say unacceptable ... The license "is what it is".
The legal department is saying that "...if the proposed modification goes through, we may no longer be able to use Apache code in our products." So I do not mean to imply that there is a problem with the license, just that the proposed changes mean that we (and possibly others) will not be able to use OBJ and other Apache software in commercial products. I will get more info from the legal folks and let you know the details of WHY the proposed license is problematic for us. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Bob Celestino SAS Research and Development 919 - 531 - 9425 [EMAIL PROTECTED] SAS - The Power to Know -----Original Message----- From: Brian McCallister [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 10, 2003 4:53 PM To: OJB Users List Subject: Re: Thoughts on OJB licensing Are they willing to provide feedback to the ASF as to why it is unacceptable?
