[iks-community] Aloha license Re: IKS Semantic Editor hackathon in Helsinki on July 26-27

[Reto Bachmann-Gmuer]

The MIT license is fine, but for the GPL the interface of the
interaction with non-gpl code is irrelevant. One would have to ship
the editor as separate product under a separate license. It would be
impossible to have one downloadable product under a liberal open
source or commercial license that includes the editor.

Cheers,
reto
