[...] See "Larger Work" in Which has nothing to do with why the NASA Open Source Agreement (NOSG) is a non-free license. I suggest you read section G: | G. Each Contributor represents that that its Modification is | believed to be Contributor's original creation and does not | violate any existing agreements, regulations, statutes or rules, | and further that Contributor has sufficient rights to grant the | rights conveyed by this Agreement. I.e. I am not allowed to take code that I have not created and combine it with a program which is licensed under the NOSG. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
