Alex, Alexey: Node's license is MIT. It includes the licenses and copyright notices of its bundled dependencies, as is standard practice, and required for compliance with some of the dependencies' licenses. (Even where not explicitly required, it's nice to give credit for what we're using, and almost never a bad idea.) https://github.com/joyent/node/blob/master/LICENSE
Bradley, I'm sorry, google groups decided that you're a spammer. That should be cleared up now. Thank you very much for the great analysis of the options here. I am getting the sense that we're pitching solutions rather than exposing problems. Let's get a solid bug report and reproduction test case before we rearchitect anything. What *problems* are there today? Once we have some rough agreement on that (which is non-trivial!) let's list out some of the potential solutions. Once we have a few alternative solutions, let's discuss the costs of each one. My main objection to "FOUNDATION!" is that there's usually not much details about what that means or why we'd benefit. What problems is it solving? Are those problems relevant? Does a foundation even solve those problems, and if so, is a foundation the BEST way to solve those problems? Some people object to having an explicitly profit-motivated organization behind a community project. However, if the strategic goals of that company are aligned with the goals of the project, then such a setup can be extremely beneficial, and provide many valuable assets that most foundations would not.
