The section "Redistribution and USE (my emphasis) in source and binary forms". Does this mean that if I build a set of tasks and compile them into a separate assembly, but don't ship the NAnt libraries along with them (I assume the people I am sending to already have them) I still have to ship this license? Its not a major issue because I don't intend to profit from the libraries - but its just one more thing I have to put in the bundle (I want to be legally covered). ---------------------------------------- - Mitch Denny - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.monash.net - +61 (414) 610141 - > -----Original Message----- > From: Gert Driesen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, October 10, 2003 2:18 AM > To: Ian MacLean; Stefan Bodewig > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [nant-dev] Licensing > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Ian MacLean" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Stefan Bodewig" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Thursday, October 09, 2003 5:54 PM > Subject: Re: [nant-dev] Licensing > > > > Thanks for the info Stefan, > > I tend to agree with you re FSF and associated philosophy. > > > > There sould be no reason we can't get the licencing change > in for the > > next release - assuming we can deal with any copyright > holder issues. > > So now we need to make the official dicision as to which > licence.
