Indeed, it will depend of the contract between the contributors and the authors. Until now, B2CK has always request in his contract the COPYRIGHT of the code. But we did not define in the request. Moreover, if the copyright is shared between all the contributors that also means that anyone of those contributors can "relicense" (as the owner) the module with the license of his choice. But as the situation is unclear, I propose to put our contract on the offer. So contributors that disagree with it, can take back his contribution. Like that we will have a clear situation. -- Cédric Krier B2CK SPRL Rue de Rotterdam, 4 4000 Liège Belgium Tel: +32 472 54 46 59 Email/Jabber: cedric.kr...@b2ck.com Website: http://www.b2ck.com/
