Hey Elmar,

like I said in the other mail... This is dangerous teritory for the both of us us since we are not lawyers... 

Can we finally conclude that the prototype library is allowed on TER,
just as much as xajax? 

Can we also conclude that xajax is a good tool for it's perpose,
and people that need a fat client can use prototype together with
the eID method? Both to be found on TER.

People that need a thin client can use xajax or any other ajax
extension (like JPSPAN).

Since we are ECT, we should not endless try to discuss this but make a decissions.
