</I>
If it's intended to become a replacement for MCC in the future, maybe
this could be named something like "mcc-new" or "mcc-libyui" as a
temporary name in the svn, and renamed to mcc or an other name when
it's ready to replace the old mcc.

</I>
Do you plan to keep compatibility with current mcc modules ?
The modules are also used in the installer. To avoid maintaining two
versions of the modules, the same modules should work in the installer
and mcc.

</I>><i> I would be happy to make it GPL V3, but is there any argument for

</I>><i>
</I>><i> 4/ As an official Mageia project, do I need to sign the copyright over to

</I>><i> I am more than happy to do so, I would only ask that I get noted

</I>
I think you can keep the copyright. Releasing the software under an open
source license should be enough. Mageia does not own copyright of the
other softwares.
