Oh, I agree. Not everyone is visceral about the license. Unfortunately we cannot expect them to contribute while we are not offering them anything in particular, so I think we have to finish setting up our stuff first and eventually they will come. On the long run I think what we have to offer is openness. As I said in a FreeBSD list ... contributing to Apache OO is the best way to make sure that our changes will get into both projects. Pedro. ps. BTW Rob, a Lotus Symphony port to FreeBSD would be welcome :).
