[Avogadro-devel] Contributor approval for 3-clause BSD relicensing (YOUR ACTION NEEDED)
Hi, We have talked about this offline, and at times on the list. As many of you already know we are working on a rewrite of Avogadro, and we are preparing to make an initial alpha release. It features many great new features, but does not yet have feature parity with Avogadro 1.x. Avogadro 2 is a rewrite and re-architecture of Avogadro using a simpler, more liberal 3-clause BSD license. A lot of the API has changed, and we invite community participation. For some background to the project please see, http://wiki.openchemistry.org/ http://www.slideshare.net/cryos/the-open-chemistry-project You can see the latest version make use of obabel command line tools for file translation, geometry optimization, and other pieces using a qprocess to manage execution. We are also looking at using this approach to run Python and Java in a more loosely coupled form, and we have ported most of the input generators to use a much simpler scripting framework where the addition of scripts can add new generators to the GUI using pure Python, or other languages. To that end, we would like to know which of our Avogadro contributors agree to relicensing their contributions under the 3-clause BSD license, linked below, http://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause If you contributed code to Avogadro, please reply to this email with either one of the following statements (adapted from the Eigen relicensing effort led by Benoit), Yes, I agree to have all the code that I contributed to Avogadro relicensed to the 3-clause BSD license. or No, I do not agree. Anything other than the above Yes sentence will mean No. Without your agreement we will make no attempt to port your contribution to Avogadro 2's code base, we would also love input from our contributors on Avogadro 2, and have made every attempt to address many of the shortcomings we perceived in Avogadro.
