He won't do that, because it's not possible. You cannot freely copy from a copyleft code base into a non-copyleft code base; you must indenture the latter. What we can do is branch the code, and freely copy back-and-forth between Mailman core and the code we got from the non-copyleft code base. The potential costs of that I point out in another message, so don't reply to this one. :-) _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
