During the duscussion is has been decided that McTools will be split into two parts:
- one large part will be an open source repository under the GNU LGPL license to allow maximum collaboration with the Building with Nature program and the EU MICORE project for instance.
- one part will be a closed Deltares repository.
In the last quarter of 2008 this splitting action will be carried out.
