The OpenERP license is AGPLv3, which is compatible with GPLv2+

OpenERP includes the sources today. This clearly constitutes a bundling, and
this request is really about unbundling the faces library from OpenERP. See
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:No_Bundled_Libraries. Basically, I need
to either package faces or get a bundling exception. In this case, I'm certain
that a request for bundling exception would give a "package separately" reply. 
The patch is basically between what's in OE today and (partly) works, and the
upstream which is unusable.

Shall we ask the list about this? Seems that we just disagree ?! As far as I
know, there is no rule blocking this kind of patching. OTOH, not everything is
covered in rules, it's also about overall judgment. Which can be harder to
agree on, though.
