....I stumbled upon these and thought of this post http://freshmeat.net/faq/view/48/ would you say this is a good place to start?, or were you thinking of something different?.

Nice bit of guerrilla gnustiscim, so to speak. Perhaps (and it won't be I, due to lack of energy/health) it would be a good idea to set a few people who want to help Free s/w (writ broadly) to examine licences for stuff on servers with an eye to backstopping licence changes. That wouldn't require technical programming skills, which I for one lack of any relevance (last bit of code I wrote commercially was the mid 80s!!) but a keen eye for the small print and enough wit to know what they are looking at and the relevance of the project. Possibly once identified and clarified from the licence arrangements, all such stuff could be "banked" around various places, so things just can't be disappeared in this way when a developer simply un-publics (again so to speak) something. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
