I couldn't have put it better in words. So I have read it correctly :) Still: If I get the project under the (L)GPL, may I _then_ use the source file which has the BSD conditions, without problems? IMO it then has a dual-license: - BSD: the list of conditions mustn't be removed - GPL: due to the "no additional conditions" clause and implied by the project. Or am I wrong here? -- license-discuss archive is at http://crynwr.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3
