Re: License proposal

I am fine with the LGPL. I am also fine with moving over some of the 
core infrastructure to ObjectWeb. I am assuming by moving email, cvs, 
etc... that these feature will be backed up daily, and we will have 
disaster recovery as well (Not that we don't already have disaster 
recovery with so many people having copies of the code locally). Does OW 
archive emails, or will we still need to find an archive services? Will 
the email address change for the mailing list if it is moved to Object 
Web? Are there any restrictions that will be imposed on the project by 
moving it to Object Web?
