My feeling is that (as expressed in <a href="http://www.genabel.org/open_source_methodology">http://www.genabel.org/open_source_methodology</a>) in general a license should prevent a situation when GenABEL project community would have been "used" without any benefit (the benefit of using a software resulting [partly] due to their effort for free, the benefit of using this code for future projects). To prevent such situation, I thought that any acceptable license should declare the source code is open, allow for people to distribute it and modify it, and redistribute the modified code. </div><div><br></div><div>It seems to me (is that correct?) that Apache license complies to these requirements.</div><div><br></div><div>So, I wonder if everybody would be OK with Apache license for some prospective GenABEL package.</div><div><br></div><div>with best wishes,</div><div>Yurii</div><div><div>
