No, it shouldn't be seen as plain GPL. I'd say this is a free software license but is sufficiently more restrictive than conventional interpretations of GPLv2 to the point of being GPL-incompatible, and indeed the authors seem to acknowledge this. It should have a distinct license tag. - RF _______________________________________________ legal mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/legal
