(This sentence is translated from Japanese to English using Google Translate) Hi jEdit users and developers. The other day, I posted an opinion about the transition to GitHub. Thank you so much for your feedback. And this time I make a very bold proposal. Still, I would like you to read it to the end. First of all, I think about this project, there are some problems. However, please keep in mind that it is only an impression that I saw from my eyes. * Java is very evolved now and many projects have code written with it, but jEdit has a lot of old code * At the moment the project's VCS is mostly used Git, but jEdit is Suvbersion * Currently, the project's Code Hosting Service is mostly used GitHub, but jEdit is a source forge And so on. But these are probably minor issues. The biggest problem in my eyes is * There are many great OSS licenses such as MIT License now, but jEdit is GPLv2 I searched past mailing lists. Therefore, it is interpreted that the plug-in is also forced to be GPL. Nowadays many codes are often written under non-GPL licenses. Projects under the GPL are hated by many programmers. If the jEdit community launches a new text editor project that follows jEdit, for example under the MIT License: I expect to be able to do something very good. What do you think. -- ----------------------------------------------- jEdit Users' List [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jedit-users
