RE: [evlog-dev] EventLog coding standard question

Just checked with our legal department, it seems that our attorneys are a
lot more flexible. :) According to them, if we write the EventLog subagent,
we can choose any type of license that fits our needs. So if we release the
SNMP subagent in LGPL, there shouldn't be any legal problem for this to be
adopted by the EventLog project, right?

no,but can you be more specific about what you have in mind

sure

in my opinion it should be GPL.  The libevl library is LGPL so that non-GPL
applications can use it without suffering the "viral effect".

Although the idea was to host the SNMP subagent with event logging, I'm not
sure this will be acceptable to my employer's attorneys.  It may be
necessary
for you to post it on a separate website (like sourceforge) and be the
official maintainer.  Ofcourse, we'd certainly provide links from
evlog.sf.net (and 
vice versa).  What do you think ?
