Hi,
I have contact Leif of JSW but have yet to get a response about the
license change.
Project that start using a commercially liberal license and then
switching long into the life of a project is wrong. If you want to
do the GPL/commercial thing then say so from the start. I have
nothing wrong with this model, but for libraries and tools using a
commercially liberal license is the best way to get community
adoption and then to flip the license I find a little unsavory.
Anyone interested in forking it and maintaining the version that
was not GPL?
I agree. That's pretty bad.
I don't have a lot of time but am wiling to help where I can. I am
not familiar with building C artifacts with Maven but am dying to
learn.
The NAR plugin will easily do it, so it would be interesting from a
build perspective but we could continue to work on it. I'd hire a C
developer to work on it before I would support a project that does the
BSDish -> GPL switch-a-roo years into a project.
Regards,
Alan

Our achievements speak for themselves. What we have to keep track
of are our failures, discouragements and doubts. We tend to forget
the past difficulties, the many false starts, and the painful
groping. We see our past achievements as the end result of a
clean forward thrust, and our present difficulties as
signs of decline and decay.
