As far as I know that's also LGPL

OK, so I could use Boron as a black box if necessary - good to know 
:)

Right, exactly like REBOL, for your personal goals

Like REBOL without the source function or hostkit source, but basically 
yes.

The R3 host kit source will taint you more, because it's commercial
I never saw the REBOL mezzanines be declared PD, either

Nope, but I wrote most of the R3 mezzanines and all of the recent 
changes to the R2 ones, and my contributions were either MIT licensed 
or contributed under the condition that they be open sourced under 
a permissive license - no copyright transfer agreed to. And the host 
code is in the open portion of R3 - I haven't seen any closed source.
I don't have access to the r3lib source either for the same reason.

Looking at the R2 mezzanines has already tainted you, and the fact 
that you can see the source of the R3 host kit doesn't mean that 
it's open source - it isn't

Brian, you could always ask Karl for permission to look at the sources 
and not have you own worked "tainted" by doing so. Of course, he 
may say no. On the other hand, there is no harm in asking.

Brian, your "see the source" fear is silly. Sure, there's a lot of 
copyright terror in the USA, but the idea that the authors of Boron 
would sue you because you wrote similar code elsewere is ridiculous.


Also, copyright covers verbatim text, not ideas. You can use what 
you learn in any way you wish, this is not about patents.

Hi, I am interested into building an maintaining documentation for 
those programming languages based on REBOL.
It would be nice to have a DOCBASE for them.
What I search is:
- Someone ABLE to SETUP the Linux and the Wiki Software
- Someone which would share with me the cost of hosting.
Do you like the idea ?

Hi, I can setup mediawiki (or any other) on my web site: http://www.moldibi.com
which is up for 7-8 years. Its hosted on hostgator. I have unlimited 
storage / MySQL DB / bandwidth etc.

But I only have 1 domain name. If it is ok I can create any number 
of subdomains like world.moldibi.com or red.moldibi.com and give 
you a FTP account if necessary.
