Re: [forge-dev] Forge License

I was going to say, this isn't a switch from APL to ESL. I doubt I'd advocate for that switch ever. This about LGPL to EPL, from a weak copyleft to a permissive license. (The general thinking is that the permissive license makes communities easier to grow and with the right motivation, though it really depends on the circumstances.) EPL is a well designed permissive license for tool platforms that support plugins. I encourage you to read it and we can discuss how it applies. I'll save my commentary until then. -Dan -- Sent from my CyanogenMod-powered Android device, an open platform for carriers, developers and consumers.
