DEFINITIONS:
LICENCE shall mean an OpenSource licence which allows:
1) Any person to combine the licenced product with anything
else and release the resulting derived product so long as
they:
a) Release it under a different name; and
b) preferably (but optinally) Give credit
2) Any person may fork. Conditions for forking shall be the
same as 1. Forking may include any use of any amount of
the source code.
LICENCE shall be perpetual, non-exlcusive, and irrevocable.
OPENCARD shall mean a certain product being created by OODL in order
to be a new, OpenSource, HyperCard-like product.
MAINTAINER shall mean the person in charge of OpenCard. His word shall
be the Last Word (except for forking). He shall be chosen
a specified below. [Note this is intended for when we have
official versions]
\-----------/
| PROPOSAL: |
/-----------\
I propose that there shall be a single MAINTAINER, and he shall be elected
by the the majority of the members of the OODL list, and that he shall be
liable to impeachment by two thirds of the same.
I propose that OPENCARD shall be distributed under LICENCE.
I propose that any person writing code for inclusion in OPENCARD must do so
under LICENCE.
I propose that MAINTAINER shall gather code under LICENCE and combine them
to form OPENCARD. I further propose that MAINTAINER or his designee shall
write or callaborate to have written any neccisarry code to glue together
different parts, and to have that code released under LICENCE.
(This is still a very rough draft, but I think I've covered it all).
