Re: [Modeling-users] Switching to a 3-clause BSD-like licence

[Sebastien B. <sbi...@us...>]

The switch to the BSD-like license will be made in two parts.

  As far as the NotificationFramework is concerned, a new release will
  be made in the next coming days under the new licence.

The Modeling framework will also switch to the new licence in the coming
week, but on the CVS main trunk only. The next release will be a v0.9
release candidate, however there is no precise date for this release
yet.  Until it is released, anyone will be able to get a BSD-licensed
version of the framework through anonymous cvs on sourceforge.

  Every step will obviously be announced here when done.

PS: python files will get the following header:
    (/modulo/ still possible minor changes)
