We were fully aware of there being other CVS projects, and we do not feel that their stuff can help us towards our goals at all. A lot of our goals are -- as yet -- not disclosed. > I'm not sure if the people who have e-mailed me are actually involved in > the OpenCVS effort or not, however the off-list reaction seems to be > that the primary interest of the OpenCVS project is in re-licensing. That is not the primary goal at all. Some people who really have nothing to do with us, and know zero about where we are going, are saying that. And they are wrong. > In > this case perhaps there wont be a lot of synergy between the projects. That said, we have no interest in furthering GPL codebases. Not just because of the licenses, but also because of the obvious bloat that always happens with these codebases designed to "work on every stupid variation of system even written in the past". > If someone from the project does feel that there may be some synergy, > please contact me either on the list or off. I don't sense any chance of that happening. Over here, there are about 23,000 lines of code already that argue against that. Unless you wanted to adopt and start using this as the basis for your code.      |
