Well, in the context of evaluating this specific proposed change that really depends on the final language used. Under the wording that is currently proposed the answer would seem to be "yes" if developers of all organizations have access to that same software - whether that's the intent or not is perhaps a different question. In reality of course such a hypothetical project would likely fall afoul of the earlier criteria around dependencies anyway... -Steve __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: [email protected]?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
