In the meantime, I'll downgrade this bug.
I am not sure I understand what you are disagreeing about. What I say is: (A) the CeCILL-C license includes some restrictions (at the very least, a choice of venue clause) which are not present in the GNU GPL v2 (or later) (B) the CeCILL-C license does not include any explicit conversion-to-GPL (or to any other license) clause (C) a license which includes restrictions not present in the GNU GPL is GPL-incompatible, unless it has an explicit conversion-to-GPL-compatible-license clause Which point are you disagreeing on? Please clarify. Thanks for your time. -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/frx-gpg-key-transition-2010.txt New GnuPG key, see the transition document! .....................................................
