That's fine with me - a "no" is better than ambiguity. Does the same policy apply to JCP, Sun, IBM, etc licenses - i.e. not allowed unless a board decision to allow is made ? Or is it only for LGPL? Or more clearly - is there a list of licenses that the board approved ? BTW, I agree that "not allowed unless specifically permited" is a good policy regarding licenses, and I'm glad someone finally stated this with the board hat on ( even if only for LGPL - but that's a start :-) Costin > > > >that may seem heavy-handed and arbitrary; i apologise ahead of > >time, particularly if i turn out to be wrong. however, i am > >saying this in good faith and in an attempt to do what's right. > >i will welcome an official answer no less than anyone else. > > > > > While I do not want to have a discussion on the matter, I would like to > state my preference to have some determination on this matter in the > near future. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
