Hi, second question related to yast++. What license we should use? As I plan to create initial package, I need specify license ( and packaging tasks include explicit license checker ). What suggestion do you have? MIT, BSD or some kind of GPL?

MIT or LGPL sound good. Stano -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org

Josef I talked to our licenses expert and want to summarize the outcome of the discussion: There are a lot of different possibilities and GPL v3 fits well for yast++. Libraries could be LGPL v3 if they are used by others. Otherwise GPL v3 is also appropriate.

Do we want others to use our framework libraries and do not open the code? Stano -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org

BTW: Your time settings seems to be wrong. Is your workstation's clock correct? Cheers, Thomas

Because both agents and yast++ libraries will be libraries which will be fine if use our customers for theirs solutions I found LGPL useful license. I try to discuss it on monday with jsrain and decide some license ( as long as we don't have external contributor we can freely change license ). I want initial version to create initial package for introduction and testing.
