I haven't followed the discussion of the PostFix license in detail, but I think we should have clear answers to the following questions should be answered before we contact IBM officially: - The conflicting clause is the revocation in case of patent issues one, right? - Does the clause actually violate the OSD, or is it an oversight in the OSD/DFSG? If it is the latter, is it fixed in the current DFSG revision proposal drafts? - Is the issue with PostFix only, or is it with Jikes too? > I think debian or SPI should officially complain: SPI holds the Open Source cerficiation mark, not Debian. What Debian can do is to take this issue into account in the next DFSG revision. Ray -- ART A friend of mine in Tulsa, Okla., when I was about eleven years old. I'd be interested to hear from him.
