Hello,
Apparently, over on the Automation list, it's been observed that the PuffinPLC front page isn't really clear on the GPL status of the project,
causing some concern in the wider community.
Looking at the front page, it *isn't* really clear on it, and neither is the FAQ. Perhaps we should:
- make the words "open source" on the front page a link to a page
saying that we are using the GPL and explaining it a bit (perhaps
use a piece from the ELJ article).
- move the stuff currently in section 1 of the FAQ into section 6
and re-designate section 1 as Intro to PuffinPLC, talking about
the aims of the project etc, including the GPL.
Comments?
