[forge-dev] Forge License

[Thomas Frühbeck]

+1 from me too. After having a short review of the differences EPL seems 
to be the most suitable.
IMHO any proprietary plugin built on Forge automatically fosters the 
quality of the core - the best plugin will be useless on an instable 
foundation. APL seems to be too permissive as this backlash is not 
enforced, allowing kind of "we have the stable Forge" parallel 
development. GPL V2 may be ok too but incompatible with EPL/APL, V3 
seems to be too political.

If technical excellency is the primary goal, then I would go for EPL.

I am allowed to do the real stuff ;-)
