or if we license Fred under the GPL... Even if we did uphold those conditions, we would have to require that code derived from Fred did so as well - meaning we have put extra restrictions on Fred beyond the GPL, which means that we could no longer use GPLed code in Fred (which we have already done in a few places). http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#GPLIncompatibleLicenses "The Apache License, Version 1.1. "This is a permissive non-copyleft free software license with a few requirements that render it incompatible with the GNU GPL. "We urge you not to use the Apache licenses for software you write. However, there is no reason to avoid running programs that have been released under this license, such as Apache." -- Oskar Sandberg oskar at freenetproject.org _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl
