The big question, of course, is if Robert minds. (end of quote) In order to pass the questions which you will get asked at some point you need to be whiter than white, cleaner than clean. I'm not doing this to be awkward, I'm doing this because it really matters. Separate LGPL from ASF2 in two separate projects (thinletng and slender). Then everyone is clear. |

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. |

I'm not sure, and I can only suggest that you review the Thinlet forum archives, but I would dare say that MANY people still need the extremely thin client, mobile phones aren't THAT powerful (check the MIDP 1.0 spec.. yes, 2.0 is out, but hardware doesn't change as fast as new specs) and that part of Thinlet's wonderfullly small size comes from its one class nature. Just something for consideration. |

Planning an extension of Thinlet (LGPL) as well as an alternative (ASL) to Thinlet is all well and good, but I woudl be very wary of keeping them so "close" to each other. If anything from Thinlet or the fixes to Thinlet in ANY way can be construed as showing up in the alternative, the alternative is potentially restricted to the LGPL. |

> Again, I'd like to stress that we're not just talking about one implementation - we're talking about several with varying derivation/functionality/licensing. Then an adapter/interface model so that users can select which implementation suits a particular deployment scenario. So not something - in my opinion - we need to worry about unduly. So we're basically planning to bring everything under one umbrella? -- Thor |

Just doing a little check to see if replying to registered users gives you the right "To:" header. |

Where to alterations to widget code go in this? |

Could you mail me a copy of the code to st...@st... and I'll bounce it into CVS, once I've created it, and look at integrating it into basic. |

I prefer starting from scratch and not taking over anything at all from Thinlet, although we cannot have an initial release then. So we are totally free to choose whatever license we like. APL/ASF2 is totally fine with me. |
