I'm all for a change that widens the group of applications and users that can use jgit (heck, that's one reason we moved to it to a BSD license).

That would be a very interesting beast. -- Shawn. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
