No, this will not be an issue at all for a number of reasons: 1. The FSFE fiduciary project is very open to any kind of Free Source licensing. They are not exclusively GPL -- this is explained in the Fiduciary Policy document I sent in my second email. 2. In their copyright transfer agreement, they explicitly give you the same rights that I gave you (as best I can see from a quick reading of it). This is explained in the copyright transfer agreement, which was included in my first email. 3. Before signing any transfer of my copyright, I will ensure that the license I have given back to you will not be diluted in any way. I have already indicated this to them, and I am sure it is no problem. Bottom line: their interest is to ensure that the code remains free, not to restrict your rights. > > -landonf > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Using Tomcat but need to do more?
