[Incubator] PyWPS

[Markus Schneider]

Hello list,

before I bring up the discussion on PyWPS' incubation admittance (I volunteered as a mentor), please assist me in
answering two questions from the PyWPS people:

> AFAIK, once PyWPS would become OSGeo project, the copyright would go to
> OSGeo.

IMHO, this is not correct (e.g. deegree). OSGeo basically offers to become the copyright holder for member projects to
act as the legal representative for copyright issues. Right?

> We would like to offer dual-licensing model (similar to geoserver), so

This should not be a problem for OSGeo incubation, right?

Best regards,
Markus
