Open development/Licensing change requests
The licensing change requests queue
The idea of the licensing change request queue, is to have the ability to prioritise what components should be sent through the machinery that in the end decides if something is open sourced or not and in which order.
The idea is that we need to get licensing change requests prioritised in an order as to make it possible for a Nokian to be able to look at a page, select one or more of the top licensing change requests and then without bigger effort send this through the internal machinery for open sourcing and hence getting it to happen (or a decision made that the change won't happen).
Keep in mind such a process can take quite a while.
Submitting a licensing change request
These requests are based on the maemo.org bugzilla. To enter a request, To enter a request, click here
We kindly ask you to use this form (answer the questions) instead of the provided one in Bugzilla. Requests won't be evaluated otherwise.
What component(s) or source packages/etc is the licensing change request about? What component area is the component in if you know? (See the openness reports at http://mer-project.blogspot.com/2010/02/mapping-openness-of-maemo-50-pr11-and.html) What is the current licensing of the component? What licensing would you like it to be and why? Examples can be: open source and openly developed (move to gitorious), open source (select a license), non-free but redistributable, non-free, published in nokia-binaries, document the functionality, etc. What project(s) would have benefit from this licensing change request? What technical purpose do you/your project(s) have for wanting the licensing change?
