Eric: An express or implied contract is equally valid (enforceable). Judges are reluctant to imply contracts, but do so when the facts support it. So you are always better to be explicit - i.e. when in doubt say it in writing. Alain: I thought so. Eric: Regarding MetaCard: I assume MC will not be a partner - you should be explicit about this. However will the CEO of MC be a partner? Kind of important to be very clear about the relationship between your partnership and MC. Alain: I believe that MC merely wants to be able to ship the GUI portion of our Open Source alternative to HC as an alternative to MetaCard's existing GUI because their GUI is often criticized as being the weak point of their product. You are right though, Eric, that we should make our relationship with MC more explicit. Eric: Licenses are not really problematic. I think I understand what you want. But please send me anything else you have regarding ideas, persons to be involved - anything. Eric: A partnership can require unanimity of all members prior to decisions, or a simple majority, or whatever arrangement you desire. Alain: I choose the third alternative! Eric: Also, please try to send me a copy of the PERL and GNU licensing agreements - I shall keep an eye out for them myself, as I do intend to use them as models.Ok?
