Wow, what a surprise.
This is great news Rob. I have no doubt you will (in the coming years)
see the full power of Open Source.

This is obviously 100% your decision, if you don't mind other people
making closed commercial versions of Euphoria then Public Domian, BSD or
an Apache type license would be fine.
If you would like Euphoria to always be free and open then the GPL.
In general almost all computer languages are based on a GPL license and
it hasn't caused any problems for other languages. The GPL would be my
vote ;)
I hope some old hard heads and new ones jump aboard and drive Euphoria
into the future.
At least in the short term, I'm 100% happy for Rob to be the Leader and
and in full control. In the future I'd love to see a small group lead
the project where enhancements and the future direction are discussed
and voted on.
I'd love to see a mission statement or similiar stating the aim and
future direction for Euphoria. Small, fast, clean syntax etc etc.
Any future enhancements would then be compared with the mission
statement.
I think I'll have to dust off some of my old eu code and start playing
again ;)
Three cheers for Rob and Euphoria :)
