Point taken. Here's something practical that any of us can probably contribute to. Diane Cabell (Associate Director, Berkman Center for Internet & Society, Harvard Law School) suggested was that we could go through the lists of licenses at: http://www.opensource.org/licenses/cpl.php http://eon.law.harvard.edu/opencode/licenses/ and make a lay-person's evaluation to see if any of these stood a chance of being appropriate for Boost. If we could get one person to summarize each of the licenses w.r.t. the Boost license requirements, I think we'd stand a great chance of narrowing the field of candidates to a reasonable number relatively quickly. This would make the process go much more smoothly and quickly when the Berkman Center's volunteer is actually prepared to start working with us. Just as a way of testing the waters, I'd like to hear from anyone who would be willing to review and summarize one or more licenses. If you're willing to contribute a paragraph or so about a candidate license, please volunteer as part of this thread. To get the ball rolling, I'm willing to volunteer to take on 3 licenses at this time. -Dave P.S. Perhaps a set of Wiki pages would be a good way to pursue this. -- David Abrahams [EMAIL PROTECTED] * http://www.boost-consulting.com Boost support, enhancements, training, and commercial distribution _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
