Hi,
My name is Graeme, I'm a member of the Simple Machines team and I do apologize if I'm posting this to the wrong spot, however if the main issue against our software SMF is the licensing issue regarding re- distribution were quite up for negotiating an agreement as we have done with others. If SMF was being redistributed would it be modified in any way or just a standard SMF package? Its very nice to be considered and we would happily help in any way we can.
Thanks, Graeme
Dear Graeme,
First, thanks that you join the discussion.

I think it's not about individual license agreements, but about general open licensing instead.

Also I have to consider that you are quite late as we are already working hard on phpBB integration.
Best Regards Marcus
Its no problem Marcus, our license is always being reviewed, but open redistribution isn't something we have chosen to support at this time due to problems in the past, although we were quite willing to make an exception for CentOS and an unmodified version, however what's done is done. :)
Good luck with phpBB, their third release is nice. If you do however reconsider ever, we are always open to help.
Regards, Graeme
