The licensing situation in some of these modules is pretty ugly, no
doubt. It's a great thing that the Zikula guys are working with us to
resolve them, but I hope we can get traction soon since we'd like to
have our system off the ground in August.
And while they hate the pain of the work involved. they do realize
that this is beneficial to them. They are essentially getting a
licensing audit for free. And just as we are getting help from them,
we are returning that help.
