[tdf-discuss] OCA vs. ICLA: two names - one thing? (was: Triple licensing?)

Hi Greg, *,

I pull this in a new thread, as it is basic for understanding the
difference between OCA and ICLA.

Same thing with OCA. You don't/didn't "sell" your copy right instead it
was shared.

I don't see the basical difference between OCA and ICLA here.

Of course I see the difference between Oracle as a commercial company
and Apache Software Foundation as a charity. :o))

which is basically the same Oracle can do with contributions granted
under terms of OCA.

By the way: If this topic already was discussed elsewhere I appreciate
an archive link.
