I hate to be the license freak here, but this surprise release of the
ArsDigita Public License v1.0 leaves me no choice: this is the first
I've heard of it, the first anyone I know has heard of it.
If you are an OpenACS developer, please do *not* look at ACS 4.6
source code for now. This is *extremely* important. We have every
intention of respecting ArsDigita's licenses, and I cannot say for
sure that the ArsDigita Public License is compatible with the GPL or
with the OpenACS project (after all, we do use the name "ACS" in our
product name).
So, until we have a lawyer look at this, until we determine GPL
compatibility, and until we understand how this affects the OpenACS
group, I'm asking all OpenACS developers to not download, browse, or
come anywhere close to ACS 4.6 source code. I really wish I could say
otherwise, as I would like the OpenACS group to benefit from ACS 4.6
source code. We can't take the risk of violating this new license, though.
