[thinletng-open] The license issue

[scolebourne <sco...@jo...>]

I need to reiterate this point again.



Licenses are not for fun. They are legal documents. They require very clear procedures when working with potential issues.



No effort to create an ASF2 licensed alternative to thinlet (big/small se/me talk/design/architecture/code) can be created in -



- a project (or bulletin board) named 'thinletng'



- the same project as a refactored original LGPL thinlet



- the same mailing list/bulletin board as a refactored LGPL thinlet



If you do not obey these procedures then you enable Robert B to come along at a later stage and claim your 'ASF2' code is not really 'ASF2' but LGPL. That would be a disaster.





This is why I cannot participate in discussions other than general comment and advice I might give to anyone EXCEPT on a clearly separate ASF2 project. And you all need to restrain yourselves from any talk/design/architecture/code too, until you have a clearly separate location.
