Ok, The key message I see for a hasty solution is that we need to have someone define what needs doing as a list of action steps, then review the plan by all stakeholders, adjust issues in the plan as required, then work off the issues. This plan needs to be at a fairly high level. It seems that only a couple of people know all the details and they don't have the authority to resolve the issues. So lets create a concise plan, which can be viewed quickly, and easily identify where the blocking issues are. So would suitable steps be: 0. Create a straw man plan. Jody has started that. 1. Write out a straw man license 2a i. Ask developers if they will commit to signing up to license conditions 2a ii. Action developer concerns. license, go back to 1. 2b i. Ask OSGeo Board / Legal if they accept the license. 2b ii. Refine as required. (One needs to come before the other, probably Geotools first) 3. ... Incorporate above into the plan.
