[tei-council] Fwd: [tei-board] licensing issues

[Laurent Romary]

You guys are always so quick.... I was stuck in the middle of the river not understanding why CC-By, which is what is aimed at with BSD is incompatible with GPL (in a context where we seem not to care about GPL). Should not we make a recommendation along principles and make explicit that CC-BY and BSD are two options, and let the board finalize. Or should we vote on one or the other?
