[Foundation-l] status of the licensing update

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hoi,
The way I read Michael, it is an open issue never mind what license we
choose. It is therefore an issue whether we stay with the GFDL or not. It is
in my opinion weird to allow arguments that have no bearing whatsoever on
the subject make a difference.
Thanks,
       GerardM
