You need to contact IBM's legal counsel and set them straight before they further embarrass themselves: "65. Among the "further restrictions" that the GPL and LGPL do not permit are royalties or licensing fees (Ex. 27 2, 3; Ex. 26 2, 4) (although fees can be collected for "the physical act of transferring a copy" of the code or for warranty protection). (Ex. 27 1; Ex. 26 1.) If modified works or machine- readable versions of GPL- or LGPL-licensed software are distributed, they must be licensed "at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License." (Ex. 27 2 (emphasis added); Ex. 26 2; see also Ex. 27 3; Ex. 26 4.)" regards, alexander. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
