Module license
Hello,
Can a module be licensed under the MIT license? Can a module be proprietary?
Thanks,

Well, that's something people-that-do-not-read-onsite-documentation will never fully understand :)

You are always welcome :) I pointed it out only because there have been
hard feelings in the past of "Why isn't my great mod_foo part of httpd's
distribution yet?" The dev's aren't psychic, and we've rarely actually
shopped for a project to bundle nor contacted the developers. The mods
that have been added had authors who approached httpd devs themselves.

Of course, it's necessary for you to submit the code to dev@httpd.apache.org
and actually ask for the project to consider it :) If they are interested,
the next step is to sign a CLA (see http://www.apache.org/licenses/#clas for
information, don't worry about it until it's requested.)

Regarding that, I've declared mod_auth_openpgp (that will be renamed to mod_openpgp, as it is more
an openpgp extenion for http module than an authorization module [although it works like that when
combined with mod_access, php, etc]) licensed under the apache license 2.0, because I expect the
Apache Software Foundation to consider it for inclusion.

Read the Apache License; it provides no restrictions on the combination
of AL code with other code.
The ASF only considers contributions of modules which the author has
provided under the AL, and if you hope for redistributors such as RedHat,
Novell etc to pick up your module, staying with the AL is a safer way
to help make that happen.
