#2551: include RePriMand in the ET
Reporter: Roland Haas Status: new Milestone: Version: development version Type: enhancement Priority: major Component:
Comment (by Roland Haas):
We currently state ([http://einsteintoolkit.org/contribute.html%5D(http://einsteintoolkit.org/con...) that
All components must be distributed under an [open source licence](http://einsteintoolkit.org/software-license.html) so that others can use these components without restrictions (except as mandated by scientific integrity), can modify and improve them as necessary, and can pass on these modifications to their collaborators as they see fit.
We suggest GPL compatible and link to the the OSI’s definition page ([https://opensource.org/licenses/category%5D(https://opensource.org/licenses/...). I do not think that the issue has come up before. So for not I will take note and bring it with in some initial review for discussion in the ET call (the questions whether this is problem). It certainly would be problem if this was intended to be a “Cactus*” thing since all “Cactus*” must be LGPL so that explicitly derived object can be distributed without exposing all code. This is for example why AEILocalInterp is in Numerical and not CactusNumerical (the author explicitly requires it to be GPL and not LGPL). The ET however does not have that LGPL requirement.
