Which we tried to change back in the days of the perestroika project, but somehow that got under the rails… High time the bylaws are changed to something that focuses on “some open license” instead of a specific one. Oh, and that DRAFT in the filename triggers doubt, as well :)

So technically all funding that went into Flow is thus illegal, since that is LGPL, not GPL. Then again, it is not “the software TYPO3” that was supported, but a different one, so the GPL restriction does not apply to that. Right? Wrong?
