License issue resolved
|
Hi folks,
Doug, Pat, Lee, John, Steve Weiner (IP counsel at SRI), and I put our
heads together this afternoon and came to a decision on licensing. We are
going to use the Apache Software License.
I put a copy of it (w/ the
appropriate substitutions) at:
http://www.eekim.com/ohs/LICENSE.txt
I'm going to write up a summary of the decision-making process probably
sometime this weekend, but if you have questions or comments, feel free to
air them out here.
Sincerely,
-Eugene
