I. DEFINITIONS:
1. LICENCE shall mean an OpenSource licence which allows:
a) Any person or entity to combine the licenced product with
anything else and release the resulting derived product so
long as they:
i) Release it under a different name;
ii) preferably (but optinally) Give credit; and
iii) Do not remove or alter any copyright notices
or credits from comments in the source code
unless the person doing said altercations is the
person or entity that added them or is otherwised
entitled by law to act on his behalf.
b) 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.
2. OPENCARD shall mean a certain product being created by OODL in order
to be a new, open-source rapid application development (RAD)
with a easy-to-use, Macintosh-style interface.
3. 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]
II. Proposal
1. I propose that there shall be a single MAINTAINER, to be shall be
elected by the the majority of the members of the OODL list and to serve so
long as a majority of the same approves. I propose further that votes shall
be taken out of those voting. I propose that any single decision or group
of decisions may be reversed by a mjority vote, except for the provisions
of this document, once adopted, may be modified or extended to the extent
allowed by applicable law by a vote of two-thirds in the affirmative.
2. 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).
