If we had the agreement of GPLS and the few other non-Equinox copyright holders to the Evergreen code base to also do so, would Equinox be willing to relicense their contributions to the Evergreen code under something akin to the Affero GPL (http://www.affero.org/oagf.html)? This would prevent the possibility of another organization (that might not be so committed to the letter and spirit of free software as Equinox) from creating a derivative work and offering it as a hosted service without making the modified code available to the community. Perhaps this is an idea that the to-be-formed foundation would want to consider for discussion...
