Re: [Informa-developer] License change from LGPL to EPL?

[Nilesh B. <nil...@gm...>]

HI Niko,

It is good if more and more people use Informa. That will bring new
developers and earlier support for new features/formats (as in the
case of Atom 1.0 parser).

As far as licensing is concerned, I don't think it really matters as
long as its open. While EPL does not force a developer to push his
modifications upstream, usually it is not the case. Is Zend planning
to maintain a separate source tree, or they plan to use the same
repository for Informa?

thanks
Nilesh
