Again, it wouldn't. The combined work would be GPLv2-only, but each one of the items keeps its own license. The licenses are compatible. You don't have to have an piece of code depending on the exact same version of the license if those licenses are compatible. GPLv2-only is compatible with GPLv2+, as the license mentions for that dependency says: "either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version." The selection is "made" automatically when you run those 2 items in the same memory address space (eg. when you "link" them). > It's just a hipotetical case, I checked the extensions dependencies > in a quick look and look fine (>= GPL+2). _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
