There is nothing "slow" involved here. If you use any copyrightable part of GPL licensed software without negotiating a different license, you are bound by the full GPL.

You set the conditions for other people using your _own_ code.

You are free to license your _own_ software under any license you want, including giving them into the Public Domain. But it sounds like you are rather whining that you can't license your own code under more restrictive terms, so this is just a bunch of crocodile's tears, apparently. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
