An alternate path

In Response To: Okay then, I'll try the impossible and .... ()

: From what Darryl and Tarty said I thing this might be sorted
: out. Let's think about it.

: V 5.12 is Darryl's code. He is the only author and would have
: to release it (including the rights to use the WebBBS
: tilte) under a free license such as GPL and/or Artistic
: license.
: This must be a first step.

: Then Tarty may offer his fully modded version on the same
: basis to give those still running WebBBS a short term
: update.
: Let's call it 5.5.
: This should be released under the same terms, but copyrighted
: to Darryl and Tarty.

: At this point *we* as a group could catch up either on versin
: 5.12 or 5.5 to do further development, which will probably
: end up GPL coz we may need modules which are GPL only.

: Thus we could start on an existing version and turn it over
: to version 7.x step by step. See below for details

I've been thinking about this.. and whoever) that they didn't like Tarty's enhancements.. that theyhat about all those people who complained to Darryl (Kevin? w thought it was too complex, and they liked just the simple look?

Maybe we should just fix up the html, fix some known problems, go thru the webjourenhancements and decided what needs to be put in and release a neymen's clean, but simple version.

Then decide what the next version should be. or if there should be a "parallel fancier" version (starting with Tarty's fully modded version) developed.

as far as how it should be licensed.. don't ask me!
