Mulberry Mail is now open-sourced under the Apache 2 license. (Not sure what the issues are there.)
Apache 2 license allows code to be mixed from multiple licenses. So you can use Mulberry's IMAP code with BSD code. Mulberry is multi-platform so I think there is a pretty good chance that the IMAP part is disassociated from the UI. Speaking of licensing - I see some early talk about copyright where it was assumed copyright of submissions remain in the authors name. Has any consideration been given to assigning copyright of code (of at least the general framework and core) to the project itself? I could see where this might discourage some developers so I'm not convinced it's a good idea but some other projects use it. Additionally a distributed copyright, like the linux kernel has, can be a good defense again license hijacking since all holders would have to agree (but it gives a minority veto as well.) _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list List help: http://lists.ranchero.com/listinfo.cgi/email-init-ranchero.com
