<br>
We would like to change Forge from the LGPL license to the EPL
license; this will remove the restriction on Plugin licensing
which currently requires Plugins to be written with a compatible
open-source license. We don't want to restrict how people can
develop and distribute plugins, and the EPL license is much more
permissive in this regard; while maintaining the same open-source
requirements for the core Forge framework itself, plugins may be
developed under any license a person would wish to use.<br>
<br>
Before we this change, if you have any objections, please <b
style="color:rgb(0,153,0)">reply now</b>; i<span
style="color:rgb(0,153,0)"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">f you
are in agreement, please respond to this email stating,</span></span><b
style="color:rgb(0,153,0)"> "I approve of the change to EPL."</b><br>
<br>
<b>Additionally</b>, the reason we need to ask for this permission
is because some of our contributors have not yet signed the JBoss
CLA for Forge. Once we change to EPL, the CLA will not be
necessary :)<br>
<br>
Thanks all,<br>
