[Zope] And now for a good laugh (Re: [Zope] Zope and the GPL poison pill)

[Lalo Martins]

I replied to the message below promising to edit Renderable's
README to explicitly declare that I don't consider ZClass
subclassing to be a derivative work for the purposes of the
GPL.

Somehow, I didn't get my reply from the list. But never mind.

I went to my folder on Zope.org to edit the README and, surprise!

  License: ZPL

Renderable wasn't even GPL'ed to begin with. And this isn't a
mistake; now that I think if it, I clearly remember having
chosen the ZPL so that DC folks could easily take the changes
and merge them into Zope if they wished.

I don't know about you, but after this thread has degenerated
into a wholesale flamewar, I find this fact rather amusing.
