Licensing of synthesis was also my consideration. Interesting to know
how Patrick has solved it into his project. I don't remember if I had
to sign a license agreement when running syncevo the first time
You get the source code under the normal LGPL, so no need to sign
anything to use, modify, or distribute the code. It is only if you want
to have your patches included by Lukas in the upstream version of
libsynthesis that a contributor agreement becomes necessary. Lukas has
explained the reasoning in his other email.
All developers committing code into the libsynthesis repo in
meego.gitorious.org (the repo which is used for SyncEvolution) have
signed this agreement, so even though that repo sometimes contains
patches not yet merged back by Lukas, that is only temporary. It
definitely is not meant to be a permanent fork.
