Re: Sublicensing seems possible

Hi guys!

(This response is crossposted to the SqF-list in order to move this
thread over there,
so in responses - ****skip squeak-dev****, ok?)

First of all - I agree wholeheartedly with what Daniel's postings.

Yes, sounds perfect to me. Andrew was hesitant about sublicensing though
- I would like to hear more on that. And I would still like to hear an
explanation on sublicensing as a concept.

Having said that, I am still waiting for responses (both from Andrew and
you others of course) to my other questions, but I will just have to
wait a bit longer I assume. :-)

True. Done.

Ok, now again - what IS sublicensing? Consider me a complete idiot here.

Sure, I would really like to see Andrew picking up this ball if he is ok
with it.
Andrew? We would still of course need to build a complete concensus
about the proposed actions - but I think we are getting there - these
threads have moved us quite a bit forward I think.

This should probably be done on the SqF-list and then, when we have
agreed on something we can present it on squeak-dev and see the
reactions.

One little issue: AFAICT, Andrew is not on the SqF mailing list. Andrew,
am I correct?
