Re: License for relaxng.sourceforge.net

[James Clark <jjc@jclark.com>]

After reading the SourceForge terms of service, it is clear that everything 
on the site has to use an OSI-approved source license (or a license 
approved by SF); however, it's not clear if SourceForge requires that 
everything use the source license that we specified when applying for the 
project.

However, if each contributor to the test suite uses a difference license, 
then it's going to make life difficult for users of the test suite, at 
least for those users with careful lawyers that want to review all the 
applicable licenses.

Is there some reason we can't keep things simple and use the MIT license 
for everything?
