Seems like you don't understand the difference between copyleft and weak permissive licenses. BSDL licensed material does not restrict sublicensing to identical terms. That BSD license fans get all green in the face when their works get relicensed under copyleft licenses is supposed to be a _moral_ storm of indignation, not a legal one. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
