Glenn, All i hear here is, let one person do the work and you reap the benefits, apache even make it worse, let one person do the work and you take all the credit(closed source) and reap all the benefits.
Code gets open sourced because of the contributions that the community should make to advance the project. Frankly with no contributions of code, documentation, time and financial resources why would i devote time to making things work for you ? When i can spend that time doing stuff that actually benefits me ? Am sure you can find an alternative but you will still go down the same path if you simply expect someone else to do the work and you reap the benefits. Baruwa may die for you but it will not for me cause i wrote it know how it works and will keep using it, frankly in the grand scheme of things if you don't use it, make no difference to me. Okay thats the rant. Now for the way constructive way forward. * Do something don't just make demands * Ask for help while doing something and you will get it * If you cannot do, chip in and get someone who can to do it and contribute that back - Andrew On 10 Oct 2012, at 4:23 AM, Glenn Kelley wrote: > Yeah - > > Truth is - I was going to donate but wanted to see where it went first. > At present I am not going to pay anything towards it. > > I run a not-for-profit - www.WebEmpoweredChurch.org > We have built a large number of plugins / extensions for Typo3 (and now some > on WordPress) > Each are free - well documented etc. > > I would love to see this use an Apache style license perhaps - > I have not had the chance to put my thoughts to paper on this yet… but I have > a feeling Baruwa will simply die off if this is where it is headed. > > If you do hear of anything - please let me know > Be interested in finding an alternative > > > On Oct 9, 2012, at 10:12 PM, Mark Chaney wrote: > >> I had a feeling that was the case.
