Totally agree with this. Licenses is what really matters in my opinion as well. And I agree wording could be improved, but now this is a long term definition and it needs to be accepted. Also note that most of OSGeo projects would not exists if they were not using underlying software from projects generated with a BDFL model. p -- Paolo Corti Geospatial software developer web: http://www.paolocorti.net twitter: @capooti skype: capooti _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
