Hi all,
first let me express my apologies for the off topic question.
I'm having trouble to choose the correct gpl lisence for a new open
source project that i'm starting. I want the project to be open source
gpl'ed so it can be accepted in distro's like Debian. But, at the same
time, because the structure is modular, i want the possibility, to be
used by anyone in commercial applications.
Can anyone give a hint and/or a suggestion ?
Possibly multiple licenses: the license is determined by how somebody
has got the code from you irrespective of whether he could have got it
elsewhere. Alternatively, the basic framework is GPL but
dynamically-linked extensions are proprietary.
I suppose that the bigger question is: how does one find an affordable
lawyer, well-versed in the laws covering the major jurisdictions?
