{{{ Should we accept a project (OpenSAML) that requires the users (AND developers?) to get a License from RSA?
See http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=incubator-general&w=2&r=1&s=OpenSAML&q=b for heated debate on this issue. The WS-PMC has VOTED in favor of accepting the project. Here's the latest reply from Rob Philpott (my RSA contact): "I'm trying to see if folks here will consider a change to the licensing terms to accommodate Apache. Unfortunately I won't be able to get all the right players together until sometime next week. So I don't have much to report at this time. I understand the issue and will update you once I have some info." }}}
