Forum OpenACS Improvement Proposals (TIPs): Re: TIP #58 (Proposed): Add license value to package metadata

I like the idea. I'd prefer if it defaulted to GPL, as Dave suggested.

Under "Implementation" Joel says: "A volunteer needs to do this."  I was under the impression that when submitted a TIP, s/he either:

1) Implicitly volunteered to get the necessary work done.

or

2) Had someone in the OCT committed to get the work done.

This is to avoid TIPs that get approved but never get implemented because nobody ever committed to implementing it.

I thought this was described in TIP #2, but no. But I distinctly remember discussing this during the TIP process discussion last year. Am I wrong?

If I am correct, I'd say you need to post who is sponsoring (or committed to implementing) your TIP, if it gets approved.
