[17:12:22] <w00t> this may be a stupid question, but aren't the LGPL and commercial content the same now? why do they need seperate testing steps?
[17:13:23] <jaheikki3> w00t: not exactly, there is still some difference & that's why we have still separate LGPL and enterprise packages
[17:13:41] <jaheikki3> But the difference isn't that big anymore
[17:14:13] <w00t> ok :)
[17:14:22] <jaheikki3> Any other comments or questions?
