It's possible, but pointless. The whole point to GPL3 is to protect users and code from DRM. If OOo then dual-licenses it's products, anyone who wants to avoid the differences in GPL3 can choose GPL2. So no-one's really being protected from anything, right? So there would be no point in dual-licensing, as the license would effectively be GPL2 ( sorry ... LGPL2 ). -- Daniel Kasak IT Developer NUS Consulting Group Level 5, 77 Pacific Highway North Sydney, NSW, Australia 2060 T: (+61) 2 9922-7676 / F: (+61) 2 9922 7989 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] website: http://www.nusconsulting.com.au --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
