It's a little hard to tell what's really going on. A few thoughts: It seems Apple's terms are incompatible with copyleft, and that isn't likely to change. Is there any copylefted code in TBB? I would expect so, but I haven't enumerated it. People who choose copyleft for their code do so for a reason, and Apple's terms are fundamentally inconsistent with those reasons - this isn't a matter of nits to be smoothed over. Is the agreement that a company would have to sign public? There seems to be some notion that it is not. I believe that charitable organizations and free software organizations should not enter into secret agreements, and that doing so would be a breach of their duty to act in the public interest. _______________________________________________ tor-dev mailing list tor-dev@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-dev
