Since Cactus thorns are required to be licensed under the LGPL it cannot be include with Cactus, and so the idea was to have it as part of a new arrangement under the Einstein Toolkit instead.


Hi Barry,

Yes, we didn't want to (couldn't) make it part of Cactus, i.e. in an arrangement starting with "Cactus".  But I thought we were going to still host it under the Cactus BitBucket account, since being under Einstein Toolkit doesn't make much sense.  It is of interest to a wider community than just those using Cactus for GR.  The idea was to have a generic location for free software Cactus thorns which are not part of Cactus.
