As I understand it, TDF should certainly be able to "replace" their origina= l LGPL license from Oracle with the Apache License. But I have questions about their ability to relicense new contributions, ba= sed on what I read at http://www.libreoffice.org/get-involved/developers/ a= nd the licensing policy linked from there. It does not seem clear to me th= at TDF can unilaterally relicense all contributions. =09--- Noel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscribe@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-help@incubator.apache.org
