Derrick,
I have reservations regarding relicensing - the LGPL is convertible to
the GPL for GPL-only projects, which together make up a very large
number of OSS projects. The CPL, however, is incompatible with GPL
version 2 (though it looks like it may be compatible with GPL version
3).
In your email you appear to be saying that you will be removing the
current LGPL license from the project in favour of the CPL. However,
having visited the HTMLParser website, it states that the project is
under both the CPL and LGPL. I would be happy with adding the CPL
license to the project but leaving the LGPL as an option, but I would
be quite unhappy if the LGPL license were to be removed.
Please can you confirm the situation regarding this?
(everything else sounds great by the way)
Kind regards,
Ian Macfarlane
