I preferred that we proceed a little more patiently by asking LibLime to make the source code for LEK available first. I had suggested that we should not first ask LibLime to remove their demonstration link from the main Koha website to a LibLime page which links to LEK demonstrations from the top of the page. I had suggested asking that the link be relabelled for the moment, until the Koha community can offer a real alternative of something such as what Kyle Hall had suggested in other website possibilities. I had made an even stronger suggestion than Kyle's much more subtly. The prospect of a real alternative would give LibLime an additional reason to reconsider their position.
I was under the impression that this has been asked an answered already - do we think that asking over and over again is going to change the answer? This is quoted from here: http://www.nabble.com/LibLime-Enterprise-Koha-Q-A-to25461986.html#a25480875 "Hi, I just got off the phone with Joshua Ferraro. My library is a LibLime customer, and we had some business to discuss. I took advantage of the opportunity to express the concern that I share with many others about LibLime making their code available to the community. He said, "We will not be making our git repo public as it contains customer-sensitive data." I asked him if I could quote him, and he said yes. So there it is. I also asked if all of the sponsored enhancements would be shared, or if a customer could withhold enhancements altogether. He said that because the code's under the GPL, it would have to be released eventually. Cheers, Daniel Grobani"
