Limited to my spare time activities, I have less interest in contributing to a project that has a watered down "open source" licence rather than a proper "free software" licence. During working hours I'll be glad to keep on contributing to the project, during off hours I'll have a preference to look elsewhere (even concentrating more on GeoServer I'll end up doing changes in GeoTools as well, that's unavoidable). I might be the only one with this preference.... or not, you might want to check :-) Cheers Andrea == GeoServer Professional Services from the experts!
