Re: [Notion-devel] Licensing situation

[<kev...@gm...>]

Hi Philipp,

I was extremely excited when I saw this message (The first time, when
Tuomo posted it).  Unfortunately while it relaxed the license
modifications somewhat, it still unduly restricts distribution of the
software, so (speaking just for myself) it is still worthwhile to fork
from a version of the software from before the license insanity started.
