Re: [Notion-devel] the agenda

Greetings all,

The way forward I see for license compliance is this:
1. We import the existing code into the repository.  (at this point we
are compliant as we are distributing the code "as-is")
2a. We go on a renaming spree, the extent of which is up to debate.
(compliant as we still haven't violated any of the "special clauses")
2b. (possibly in parallel with 2a) General inoffensive cleanup, "make
it build" (still compliant with "special clauses")
3. Once we have done all necessary renaming, etc... we can proceed
with a clean conscience to making changes that Tuomo would object to,
since we have met the alternative option in the "special clauses".

Are there any holes in my reasoning?  This scenario lets us import the
code immediately and get on with it, and still allows some breathing
room during "phase 2" to come to consensus about just how much changes
need to be made to the code in order to say that we are clear of the
special requirements.

This scenario is important to me, as 2b is actually my priority.  I
don't feel the lack of features that Tuomo didn't add, but I DO want
to ensure the stability and availability of this WM in the future.

Thanks for moving forward on this, I just want my favorite WM to
remain available,
Kevin Granade
