Choosing an open source licence for zena.
-We have finally decided to choose the MIT ? licence.
A coherent and long living project is important to all users of zena. They will invest a lot of effort and energy to put their precious ideas and data into their cms and will expect it to behave as some kind of memory for their activity. Memory has to be as stable as possible. The MIT licence should help ensure that.
