<br>Then may I make a sincere suggestion that the topic matters of the lists be clearly stated on the <a href="http://opensource.org">opensource.org</a> web site?<br><br>Otherwise it gives the very clear impression that this is about discussing license matters in general as to the list archives as a whole, I might add.
<br><br>I think that rules are best stated and applied fairly. If an analysis of why the GPL v3 might be compatible with the MS-PL is not on permitted but a discussion of knitting and religion (Quakerism) is, the appearance is created that certain employers are granted extra lee-way in determining what is on-topic for this community resource.
<br><br>Furthermore, it would be very helpful to *add* a list for discussing license compatibility, and so forth.<br><br>Best Wishes,<br>Chris Travers<br></div><br></div><br>
