[Koha] LibLime Thoughts

[Frederic Demians]

As the CEO of one of the many Koha vendor companies, I want to make 
known my position on this matter.

PTFS hasn't been chosen by the Koha community to 'move the Koha project 
to the next level'. On the other hand, HLT Koha Committee has been 
elected by the Koha community to ask, since months, to Liblime and then 
PTFS to hand back Koha assets that belong to the community. This demand 
is neither a 'business' discussion nor a 'one-sided' demand, it's the 
clear and legitimate will expressed by the Koha community as a whole.

If PTFS doesn't fully understand the open source rules, they can ask. A 
lot of distinguished members of the Koha community would be pleased to 
explain them to PTFS, to pursue further explanations. It has be proved 
that open source rules are perfectly compliant with business rules.

If PTFS doesn't want to play the open source game, or if PTFS wants to 
fork Koha, it must be said clearly.

I may resume my position as: sharing with PTFS: yes,  forking with PTFS: 
no thanks.

Regards,
