Telecon Agenda & Notes, Monday, Nov. 26, 2007

  1. License for the Registry software
    • We have so far taken up and dropped the issue of an open source license for the Registry. Given that the Singapore NLB has just sent us a tender (to be discussed later) for a registry that seems similar to ours, it behooves us to assure that, should we not take up the tender, that anyone decided to take that and use our software needs to do so according to open source provisions. To recap:
      • On May 21 we reviewed the issues and asked Stuart to take an action to decide.
      • On Sept. 10 we revisited the issue, and the baton passed to Jon.
  2. The Singapore Tender
    • Although it looks to me like they wrote this to entice us to reply, it doesn't seem like a good idea for us to do so. The legal documents attached to the tender are considerable, and we're just not in a position to cope with that effectively. But the killer is on the last page of the Requirement specifications, which says:
    • Given our commitments and preferences for open source, this may be as good a reason as any to decline.
    • Does the query from HP/Singapore change anything?
