Hi John G, I have to agree with Jamie here, A lot of people outside the three organizations have contributed substantially to the project over the years,, and while moving to lgpl v2.1 is something that I am willing to accept, giving up copyright ownership is not really something that I am happy about. This means that peoples work is considered free labour, and the three named organizations mentioned could at any point change the licence and go closed source in the future which might be against the spirit of the original project. In addition, since we moved to the new maintainership, it is not clear how any of the three organizations are actively contributing to the project. Also any private responces that you might receive should be forwarded to the list so that they are publically documented.
