Subject:   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
