<snip> License: Parts are IBM Public License v1 (http://www.fish.com/tct/LICENSE) and the rest is a very slightly-modified BSD license (http://www.fish.com/tct/COPYRIGHT). Umm, I don't think that the "slightly-modified" BSD license is free, since it has the statement: No charge, other than an "at-cost" distribution fee, may be charged for copies, derivations, or distributions of this material without the express written consent of the copyright holders. This prevents someone from selling CD's to make a profit, which runs into problems with the DFSG. So it can't go in main. As for your original question, I don't think that there is a collision between the licenses. Section 3 of the IBM license talks about distributing under a different license. As long as the original IBM code is still available under the IBM license, everything is kosher. Walter Landry [EMAIL PROTECTED]
