Re: Which license?
by Fabian Deutsch
Hello,
I just stumbled accross FMCI and think it's a very useful idea.
Currently I got no use for it, but this might help to unify and ease the
management of Fedora based systems.

If fmci is modular, it is possible that third parties might add modules which
configure packages just provide by those parties. E.g.: A module to configure
lustre. This module could be proprietary, if fmci was under the LGPL (is this
correct?). libvirt is in a similar position and is also distributed under the
LGPL.
Otherwise I also think that GPLv2+ is a good choice.
