jQuery is already in the Software Freedom Conservancy (they host all our finances, for example). The code base, however, is not - that's going to take a significant amount of time and legal work to make it happen. /Maybe/ it might happen this year, but that's really hard to foresee. To your client you can tell them that since Microsoft is shipping jQuery as part of their developer platform it's probably pretty safe to say that any potential legal issues have already been sussed out (and there weren't any, when they talked with us).
We haven't had major discussions yet concerning the adoption of 3rd party code bases but I could definitely see it being a possibility. --John On Tue, Jan 5, 2010 at 10:59 AM, Justin Meyer <justinbme...@gmail.com> wrote: > It was mentioned at jQCon that jQuery was going to be under a > foundation (like Dojo).
