As of version 0.7 of Chandler, OSAF is changing the license for the  
Chandler desktop product to the Apache 2.0 License (our Cosmo and  
Scooby codebases are already Apache Licensed).  Previous versions of  
Chandler were licensed under the GNU GPL because we thought that we  
would pursue a MySQL style dual licensing scheme as part of the  
sustainability plans for the Foundation.    We no longer plan to  
pursue this kind of scheme in order to acheive our sustainability  
goals, and we want to reduce the number of open source licenses in  
use at OSAF.  	

Those interested in the complete discussion on this topic can look at  
the archives of the OSAF 'general' mailing list: <http://
