If we can adopt CLA, I think the situations would be much clearer than ever, but there may be pros and cons for this. So, I want to hear your opinions.
indeed, I didn't read this on your mail, thanks Pascal to have quoted it :-)
It has pros and cons. But given the discussion we're having, and given the extreme difficulties of adapting a license after the fact without having a CLA, I would personally be in favour.
But the CLA *must* be crystal clear about what sort of licenses we would consider in the future
absolutely or, rather, give very clear
guarantees, e.g.: * the content will always remain under an OSI compliant or CC license
CC with nothing more can be anything
* the content will always remain usable and modifiable by FOSS projects
yes, this is the basis
* modifications of the content will always have to remain under the same license, or a similar licenses that guarantees the same as above
that's nearly impossible (what mean in such a critical discussion "nearly identical"). the licence question is not about the FOSS project being able to use *the original code*, but being able to use *the derived code*, and this an much more difficult. jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xgxog7_clip-l-ombre-et-la-lumiere-3-bad-pig... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGgv_ZFtV14 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
