[okfn-discuss] [project proposal] OpenTest

[Sebastian Beca]

Thankyou, this is all excellent feedback. And regarding the licensing I can
see it is an important issue I should look deeper into.

Assuming that I would change the project and contents to a fully open
license, would the OKFN be interested in supporting this project?

Regards,

Sebastian
