Now I've gotta run out of here before a licensing discussion breaks out. ;-)
I suppose this topic is just too volatile, but it would be great to have some documentation somewhere for developers like myself who don't really have strongly formed opinions or practices on licensing. I'd love to have a page I can go to, read the facts, a sampling of the opinions, all provided just for the purposes of giving developers a resource for making their own decision.
I'm really a bit embarrassed that I started this thread. All I really wanted was to find or maybe instigate the creation of resources for developers such as myself who want to learn enough about the licenses available to make a choice. I don't want to participate in or instigate a licensing debate. This is not to say I don't think it's worth debating. I think impassioned opinions and debates about licensing are necessary and healthy. It's just not why I started this thread. The amusing thing is much of the most useful information I've gotten has been off list. :) It seems as though a creating an informative resource on licensing in the Zope and/or Plone communities is not possible due to these impassioned opinions. As such, I'd like to to consider that conclusion to be the resolution of this thread. :) Ross
