At the invitation of the TPF board, brian has withdrawn the grant
proposal for the Learning Perl 6 book, and will submit a proposal to
TPF on other ways for TPF to participate in enhancing the visibility
of Perl 6.
The Grants Committee had a general discussion on funding activities
whose output is not free of charge. TPF has documentation that states
grant results must be "released under a publically available license
that is free for redistribution and use without discrimination against
field of endeavour" (from the "Grant Benefits" page), but the process of
reviewing this proposal revealed that the documentation was easy to miss
and not clearly stated as policy in the Grants Committee rules of
operation. The committee unanimously agreed to update the rules to make
it clear that all grant results should be available free of charge. We
are in the process of adding such a clause to the rules of operation soon
(wording may be slightly changed):
1.3. Grant proposals should mention how the grant results will be made
available to the public. The grant results must be must be accessible
free of charge.
