I've just posted a FAQ to the License section. You can jump straight to it via: http://www.zope.org/License/FAQ. It's _really_ long, so I apologize in advance. The really meaty (meaning _important_) part is toward the end (though it probably is close to 40% by volume). The point is this, if we want wide distribution in the Linux community, via the standard CD's (RedHat, Debian, Caldera, Suse, etc.), we will likely have to drop our attribution clause. By dropping it, I mean at the very least making it voluntary rather than mandatory. The end of the license FAQ deals with this issue in some detail (without arriving at any good conclusion!). So, since _you_ are the community, and not the distributors, I'm asking for some help on this. Please don't send any comments before reading the FAQ. I don't need a rehash of points already discussed to death, especially if they are passionate :-(. What I'd like in particular, are any fresh thoughts on the subject that could help sway us one way or the other. Finally, I don't want to pollute this list with a license flame war. So please, send your responses to mailto:zope-license@zope.org.
