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.
