Hi Richard,
"Fernando "Lalo" Martins <address@hidden> described the
package as follows:
License: other
Other License: Modules are in different licenses:
pax: public domain, one file in Python 2.2 license
others: Zope license version 2
Package: OpenTAL
System name: opental
Type: non-GNU
Description:
This is a python-based engine for webpage templates (similar
in spirit to php, asp and others). It implements the same
language (TAL) used in Zope Page Templates; in fact one of the
modules included is a Zope interface to the engine.
[...]
3: the \"Open\" in the project name refers to the fact that it
has extensibility and maintainability as design goals; it is
\"open\" to extensions that are easily hooked in. It has no
relation at all to \"Open Source\", a term I do not like
personally. It is there because this project started, months
ago, as a fork of Zope\'s TAL and ZPT packages; the analogy is
to OpenBSD vs. BSD, not to Open Source. No, I am not willing
to change the name, but I can sign a contract in blood
swearing I will not use the words \"Open Source\" in
documentation or the website, except to explain that it has no
relation to the project name."
Is this explanation acceptable to you?
