Understood, thanks Adam. Your perspective on the LGPL was closer to mine hence 
the reason I asked.  But I understand the core team needs time to consider 
their position.  Personally I think if it's possible to open it up that's a 
good thing as it may encourage some collaboration between viewer and server 
development.

Yes and no - it's a bit complex.

The LGPL is a much less risky license for us to work with - since if it turns 
out developer code is infringing, it is possible to convert that into a 
separate library and distribute accordingly under the LGPL. 

Nonetheless, it's a welcome change - but we might have to hold until we've got 
some formal advice before changing the contributor agreement.

Adam
