RE: [CASHeW-s] [Fwd: [gnu.org #215181] GNU GPL plug-in for Eclipse]

[Barry Norton]

Just want to say thanks to Andrew for his continued efforts on this -
it's really appreciated.

Also sorry to Si for missing his message, but things are hectic over
here in Germany so we'll have to talk when I get back (potentially early
- i.e. before the end of the week).

Cheers,

Barry

Sylvian,

In this case, it is possible to have:

* The current project become the cashew-s-engine or something similar 
* A new project, cashew-s-editor, licensed under the dual EPL/GPL, with
three of the mailing lists from the current project (the ones beginning
cashew-s-editor).

Let me know what you think,
Cheers,
