Dear developers, Since I am *loving* my G1G1 (yes I recovered it from the brick I made it yesterday), I am inspired to finally get my planetarium software properly licensed and put into the git repository, with the hope that someday it will be part of the large menu of applications along the bottom bar. That brings me to license. Is there are requirement that OLPC items be GPLv3, or can they be GPLv2 and/or Apache? If there is no choice, why, and if there *is* choice, why should I choose one over the other, from a development and/or technical standpoint?
I don't want to start a hell-storm of philosophy; I, too have strong opinions about licensing and IP and etc and etc; I just want to know about the *technical* reasons and differences. David ps. My software is a simple, tiny, fast, and child-readable-hackable planetarium described here: http://howdy.physics.nyu.edu/index.php/OLPC_planetarium pps. Email me if you want to try it -- David W.
