Hi Zyx, Hi Francesco,

I also wanted to continue this discussion. Sorry again for the long delay.
If you prefer, we could also have a phone/video chat about these points
(also whoever is interested could join in).

>From my point of view, the most important points/next steps are as follows
(feel free to correct me if I am wrong):

1) Decision on splitting PoDoFo and PoDoFo Tools:
I would prefer to keep them in the same repository to make sure they are in
a buildable state all the time and can also be used as examples for working
with PoDoFo.
@Francesco Pretto <cez...@gmail.com> : It would be great if you could take
the additional effort and port them to pdfmm. The diff could also be a nice
migration guideline for the future.

2) Decision on license of PoDoFo Tools:
PoDoFo Tools are currently GPL whereas the library itself is LGPL. This
e.g. makes it hard to copy from tools to the library. From my point of
view, we should align the license so that the tools have the same license
as the library (currently LGPL, for the future see separate discussion).

3) Merging back pdfmm in podofo / replacing podofo with pdfmm:
I would agree to the proposal from Francesco here. We should do one last
release of PoDoFo 0.9.8 based on the current svn trunk and then replace it.
@Zyx: When would be a good point of time for this? Can I just bundle a
trunk, do quick tests and upload it? I am not sure about the current state.

4) Move to Git:
Yes, let's move to Git* and keep website, mailing list on sourceforge.

5) relicensing to MPL:
I am in general open to that, but let's keep discussion in separate mail
thread.


Best regards,
 Dominik
