Subject: Re: [lwip] LWIP Patches and CVS [contact with Adam]

Hello all,

a few weeks ago I have had contact with Adam about setting up a public
CVS
on http://savanah.nongnu.org (note the nongnu) or
http://www.sourceforge.net/

Adam was enthousiastic about it, as he was currently involved in a new
project
at SICS. (Winternet", http://winternet.sics.se/). I can quote his
response
tomorrow
when I am at my work place again.

Both Savannah and Sourceforge acceptation teams rejected lwIP because of
the
"original BSD" license.

After this, I have asked Adam if it was possible to blend to the
"official
modified BSD"
license, but I have had no response on this. (This was 1 or 2 weeks
ago).
Probably,
such things have to go through SICS lawyers "layer" anyway.

(In short, the original BSD license was modified by the director of
Berkeley
University
as statement #3 was ambigious in the sense of "contributors").

So, either the license be modified according to this, or someone should
set
up a CVS
server on their _own server_ so that we can proceed with the current
license
without
legal trouble.

Can someone do this? It might be the most viable option.

Regards,

Leon Woestenberg.
