(23:58:17) ste: Can I ask you a few questions?
(23:58:31) Thomas Power: go ahead
(23:59:28) ste: Is Roger Hamilton the subject of a lawsuit in Asia regarding XL Life Memberships?
(23:59:50) Thomas Power: I have no idea
(00:01:11) ste: Have you donated anything to drupal?
(00:01:28) Thomas Power: Like what?
(00:02:34) ste: Like money. You are earning partly through an open source system that depends on donations to survive.
(00:03:00) Thomas Power: You need to check with Glenn Watkins
(00:03:32) ste: So you, personally haven't donated anything to Drupal? Not that you need to, of course. It is voluntary.
(00:03:38) ste: But... winning by sharing!
(00:03:43) ste: Is Ecademy available as a white label?
(00:03:55) Thomas Power: It is not
(00:03:56) ste: http://www.ecademy.com/node.php?id=738
(00:04:54) ste: With reference to the link I posted, the ethos of open source software and Ecademy's "Winning by Sharing" ethic, why not?
(00:05:38) Thomas Power: what link?
(00:05:50) ste: http://www.ecademy.com/node.php?id=738
(00:06:39) ste: The link has you saying "Now you can white label the Ecademy platform ..."
(00:07:34) Thomas Power: Yes you can, no-one has taken up this offer
(00:08:00) ste: I'd like to take up the offer.
(00:08:03) ste: Now.
(00:08:10) Thomas Power: why?
(00:08:45) ste: Because you have kindly offered, and I would like to take up said offer.
(00:09:02) ste: Did anyone at Drupal ask why you wanted to use Drupal?
(00:10:02) Thomas Power has closed the conversation window.
(00:10:28) ste: Hello.
(00:11:05) ste: I think your connection must have gone. You were just offering me a White Label Ecademy.
(00:12:05) Thomas Power has closed the conversation window.

[00:17:04] Thomas Power says: yes
[00:17:25] steandreassen says: How can I have it delivered. Will Julian zip it for me
[00:17:54] Thomas Power says: why?
[00:18:40] steandreassen says: I don't understand why you are asking "why?". You have just stated that ecademy is available as a white label
[00:18:55] steandreassen says: And that nobody has taken you up on the offer
[00:19:02] steandreassen says: I am now taking you up on the offer
[00:19:39] Thomas Power says: what reason would we send it to you?
[00:20:10] steandreassen says: Because you have made it available as a white label.
[00:21:28] Thomas Power says: off to bed now
[00:21:40] steandreassen says: Have you read the license under which Drupal is made available?
[00:21:56] Thomas Power says: I have
[00:22:11] steandreassen says: My email address is steand@gmail.com, for when Julian has zipped up the files
[00:22:53] steandreassen says: The license states that if the software is subsequently released, it has to be under the same terms
[00:23:46] steandreassen says: You have just confirmed that you have made that offer, so should comply by forwarding me a copy of the source
[00:23:52] Thomas Power says: You need to drop Glenn a note
