Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] OSS License

Warren, which of their licenses did they recommend?  Did the agreement come with any kind of digital signature that can be verified?  I'm a bit surprised that they would be so quick to agree to something like this so early in the project... submersibles are inherently lawsuits waiting to happen.

Hey, Dale. I contacted the FSF (Free Software Foundation), and
they agreed to harbor us under their legal umbrella. Any input
on this? They said that they are already covering similar projects,
and that they only problem would be hardware...Which we don't
want to cover anyhow. This would mean that we would be covered
under the GPL with a preamble. I am open to any discussion on this
point. The GPL would have some drawbacks, but it would solve our
license problems and give us a legal shield.

Warren.
