[GRASS-dev] Re: [GRASS-user] thanks to GRASS!

[Mars Sjoden]

Just out of curiosity, is there any presence of say, an OpenSource  
style Journaling?

If there is, what would the legalities of 'publishing' under a GPL  
(v??) first and then to the big guns?

Also, what, if any, legalities are there about sharing information  
about GRASS is there?

What are the boundaries of intellectual property,  especially if  
discussing the way the Modules work within GRASS.

I honestly have no clue about such things, but this discussion has  
perked my curiosity.

cheers.
