I'm the lead developer of Pinax and am very interested in the
possibility of using Agilito in our software project management
edition. I had already started on some agile project management on top
of what we already have in terms of code management but you are much
further along.

However, I wanted clarification of the license. The project
description on Google Code says it's New BSD but the source code
itself says GPLv3.

I haven't given it much thought. AFAIC, any code I wrote can be
relicensed in any way that makes it suitable for use in Pinax, because
I'd love to see that happen. But the foundation of the code is from
IfPeople, so it's their call.

Regards,
Emile

Hi all,

I wanted to write to let you all know that after some interesting discussions and considerations, we have decided to change the license on Agilito from GPL to BSD. In part, this was motivated by the interest of the Pinax developers to incorporate Agilito into their stack. I got strong support for the idea from the contributors I saw opinions from and have decided to make this change for all ifPeople copyrighted code also.

These changes have been made in the repository and reflected on the Google Code website. We hope the alliance with the Pinax community will lead to an influx of interest, use and improvements in Agilito in the future.

Best wishes,

Chris

PS. I updated the CREDITS.txt file also, as Emiliano wasn't on there.
