Hi board members,

I have sent an email related to Bert but apparently he did not  
mention it.

So this is a point for your next discussion:
	- how can we consolidate the effort of the relicensing?
	Will we accept code in 3.10 by people that did not sign the MIT  
agreement?	I hope not.
	How can the release team access this information? Do we have a list  
available?
	How a squeaker can sign such an agreement if he was not originally  
contacted?
	A suggestion for ViewPoint: I would be nice to be able to have  
scanned copies
	of the licenses somewhere on the foundation server too.
