At least the new license is explicitly compatible with the GPL, version 3. It's easy to read the old Sleeypcat license in such a way that is incompatible because it imposes an additional restriction: It offers nothing comparable to the GPL's development/cloud computing exception. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
