hi, to bring OpenMeetings in line with the License of OpenLaszlo we will switch from the LGPL to the EPL with the next release.
What does that mean for you? - Nothing actually. Eclipse Public License is even a bit more liberal then (L)GPL Quote from wikkipedia The Eclipse Public License is designed to be a business friendly free software license, and features weaker copyleft<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyleft>provisions than contemporary licenses such as the GNU General Public License<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_General_Public_License>(GPL). The receiver of EPL-licensed programs can use, modify, copy and distribute the work and modified versions, in some cases being obligated to release their own changes.[2]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclipse_Public_License#cite_note-epl-1> The EPL is approved by the Open Source Initiative<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Source_Initiative>(OSI) [3]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclipse_Public_License#cite_note-osi-approved-2>and the Free Software Foundation <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Software_Foundation>(FSF) [4]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclipse_Public_License#cite_note-FSFLicenseList-3> . see also: http://wagner-sebastian.com/wordpress/2009/10/12/openmeetings-becomes-even-more-liberal-with-epl-license/ sebastian -- Sebastian Wagner http://www.webbase-design.de http://openmeetings.googlecode.com http://www.laszlo-forum.de [email protected] --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "OpenMeetings User" group.
