[Koha] Release of software under open source license

[Andrew McMillan]

Hi,

I hope you don't mind this off-topic post (please reply off-list if you
think this is impertinent :-)

I am currently involved in a project to produce software for a public
service in New Zealand and consideration is being given to releasing the
resulting software under the [MG]PL.

I would really appreciate hearing from the Koha team on their
experiences in this process.

The key issue for us at present is the (somewhat lame?) one of 'security
through obscurity' that you get by not telling everyone how you did
this.

Any and all experiences would be interesting to me.

Once again, I apologise for intruding.  As an open-source developer (I
am a member of the Debian project, and could package Koha for Debian if
you wish me to) I have followed Koha with some interest.  If you
consider this off-topic then please abuse me in private :-)

Kind regards,
					Andrew McMillan
