Well, it's a bit more than planning, we are half through with it. :) But it is not quite like we started from zero, it is more a transformation, ongoing for a rather long time since the first attempts. > It is a good opportunity to reconsider licensing scheme - choosing > Affero GPL to close the ASP loophole or to switch to MIT-like > licensing scheme, so that markup engine and auxiliary code can be > shared with non-GPL projects. It is interesting to know what core > MoinMoin developers think about this? Well I have misc ideas about this: a) yes, "GPL v2 or later" has some issues. Like unclear status of (in)compatibility with apache license (we even have some contributions using apache licensed software that are still in unclear status because of this). Like our code not being usable within other projects under other licenses. b) I still principally like the ideas of the GPL. While it is more restrictive than MIT/BSD, this restrictiveness protects users' freedoms. c) lots of authors have contributed to moin - it would be a pain to get everybody's agreement about a license change So, while I see your point (and, personally, I am not principally against a license change), I don't think we can change the license with reasonable effort. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Software Download: Index, Search & Analyze Logs and other IT data in Real-Time with Splunk.
