Re: [Web-erp-developers] Lisencing

[Daintrees <p.d...@pa...>]

I certainly wouldn't want a restrictive lisence - I am not into all the
legalise - I just want the system to be widely used and to be  the best it
can be - encouraging developers to feedback their changes to the project
seems like a good way and to have this as a requirement of the lisence makes
sense to me. The fact that it is completely unenforcable is a side issue!
