Adam, my answer to that is yes and no. We, or I, would love to take advantage of those things that aD is doing. I have a tremendous amount of respect for their programmers and would like to take advantage of the extremely high level of code they put out. Just as I wish that they might take advantage of the extremely high quality of code the OpenACS code puts out. However, I do agree this has little effect on the life of the OpenACS code base.

Tracy, from my reading of the Mozilla license, and the important section is section 13, a developer can release derivatives of code SPECIFIED BY THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPER under any other license. If all of the code that aD released under the aDPL is recognized as such, then I am glad, applaud the release and completely take back my earlier post. I'm willing to take this position until convinced otherwise with the position that the requirement to request written permission from aD to be too much.
