Re: [directory-discuss] Kind approval request for LogicalDOC free DMS

[Alessandro Gasparini]

Hi Adonay,

thanks for the note, I proceeded to refine the description trying to 
make clearer the concept that you have expressed.

Also as suggested by Greg I managed to add a direct reference to the 
license in the LogicalDOC Community page (I hope it is sufficiently visible)
https://www.logicaldoc.com/download-logicaldoc-community

Have a nice weekend
Alex
