While all packages in gNS should be completely free (modulo bugs yet to be discovered), not all of them are GPL-compatible. Savannah has a requirement all software to be GPL-compatible, and all documentation to be GFDL-compatible. > the gnu project - that is software that is GPL, not all free software > which could have other licences No. GNU packages are official packages maintained and released under the GNU project's umbrella. Most of them are GPL, but some are under other licenses (LGPL, AGPL, or Modified BSD like ncurses' license). There are thousands of other free software packages licensed under the GPL which are not GNU packages. This is a common misunderstanding, unfortunately. _______________________________________________ gNewSense-dev mailing list gNewSense-dev@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-dev
