license selection process...

[Laura Majerus]

There was quite a bit of interest on this list in making a licensing
wizard a couple of months ago, but it died out.
If anyone is interested in doing the coding, I would be happy to work
with you on the legal part.

Subject: license selection process...

Hi all,
I attended the OSI board meeting (I think that's what it was...) at
OSCON '05 this year. Somebody in the audience suggested that OSI have a
"wizard-like" process to help people select licenses. In essence, some
sort of a decision-tree approach to help people with selecting from a
set of templatized licenses that are best suited for their application.

Anybody know what's happening in that direction?

Sameer
