I want to try to convince my CEO that we should drop joomla.NET and switch to - because while they have feature parity, - is a lot lighter, and has even been updated within the past decade which is a plus.

However, my company has strict rules about licensing in our projects; we can only use open source dependencies that are licensed with "BSD+ Patents". My boss says Facebook uses that we have to too. (Sucks that we also have to support Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.03 which is incompatible with React 😭)

We'd appreciate hearing back from a member of the - team within the next fortnight if possible. Thanks! keep up all great work.

PS: it would be really convenient for us if you could .rar releases and host the project on SourceForge.

Will an email with an ascii-unicorn (there's a new repo for you btw) suffice?

I'd appreciate attribution for that new repo.

Guess what I just did?

What?

Gave @sindresorhus inspiration to start a popular new package
