...so, I suppose we will have to have several license levels based on some combination of the author's wishes and the license that the software was developed from (some maybe license free, some maybe gpl, some with other licenses).
BOTTOM LINE: I don't really want to hash all these details out here in public on the CD forum without some
strong leadership. I am BEGGING for someone (or group of someones) who really have their arms around all these issues to do some serious noodling on this topic and then come back with a workable solution (perhaps with open comment periods, etc.).
Will some of you bit heads grab the reins on this one? Please?
