Discuss: The Open-Source Milestone Application Framework Software License

[Akil Franklin]

Article 7 is basically meant to ensure that the authors of the framework
are notified when it is used (i.e. placed into a production system
either modified or not). Again, the goal is the sharing of information.
Perhaps the following would be better:

7. Milestone must be notified when this product is placed into a
production system (either modified or not). Such notification can be
made by visiting www.techMilestone.com and filling out the appropriate
online form. If you have any questions about this process, please send
an email to MAFAdmin at techMilestone.com.

Better?

  I agree that article 7 creates compliance difficulties. Will the
drafter
explain why it is included? The article might make more sense if it is
limited to modifications contributed to the codebase.
