Re: [gnu.org #25869] eCos as an FSF project?

I vote to go ahead, but suggest a slightly different approach:


1) get confirmation from the FSF that the license exemption (or
   something equivalent) will be preserved in future. Unless we get a
   guarantee we should not go ahead.

I know Brett said he was working on getting this. I would like to hope this wouldn't be an issue.


2) have the FSF approach Red Hat about the documentation license,
   which can be done in parallel with (1).

Okay, it appears we have some consensus: not letting it delay 2.0 is certainly decisive.


Given Bart's suggestion, I'll take a two-pronged approach, which is to approach directly but if there's no reply very soon (as is likely), ask the FSF to do it directly as well.... attack from all sides ;-). I intend to mail Tony Moretto, Mark Webbink, and also this time, Michael Tiemann, and hopefully we can work something out. I'll CC this list of course.
