Again, not "somebody", but Ximian. I will not follow you in that 
generalization.

You can exchange 2) with

2) we will not create a Ximian Connector replacement

this is *not* the goal of OGo or the Evolution subproject and an 
attempt to do something like this has nothing to do with OGo at all. 
You might want to join a different project if you are interested in a 
free Evolution Exchange connector.

I think the "wanted to make sure" is a bit too strict, but in general 
this is what the people who want to do actual OGo connector work agreed 
on. We agreed that we should avoid to hurt Ximian for reasons I 
mentioned in the other mail.

Please: if you want to continue this political free vs propritary 
discussion, move to discuss@opengroupware.org and I will follow. This 
list is primarily intended for technical discussions and work 
negotiation.
