Re: Dual license?
Hi *, > which > is going to do some software development as a government contract. I think ALL Gov software -- since it is PAID for by PUBLIC funds -- and used for a PUBLIC purpose, should be with PUBLIC licenses. The software contractors might need to do some hand-holding for the gov. agency and managers who may NOT be up to speed on software license stuff. ?? Then the challenge is to PICK the right public license. Do you start from scratch? Or, do you build upon what is already available -- perhaps GPLed? I think there should be more "lobbist" efforts to advocate for Free and Open software -- with public agencies. Ta. Mark Rauterkus [EMAIL PROTECTED] PS: > 2. If you are not an educational institution any derived work not be >public available. So, the one's who paid for the software in the first place, -- non educational -- need to NEVER use it? The aim of gov should NOT be to supress enterprise. Rather, make it work for all equally open. That move would make the public sector larger at the expense of the private sector. I think that is bad government. Are you in the USA? I see the .dk -- so I assume not.

Looking to learn more about "EXCEPTIONS" -- gnu style
Hi All, I'm trying to get my mind around the ins and outs of the granted GNU exceptions. I didn't find any list of all the software titles that have been granted "exceptions". It makes sense that a "compiler" and even the kernel would be an exception -- so as to allow that tool to craft "non-free" output. Are there any pointers where I might look for more info into this? Plus, what other software titles have "exceptions? I'll then look up the license-specifics. Or, please consider sending me an off-line email examples of those license exceptions you have easy access to. I'll summarize and return. Thanks! Mark Rauterkus [EMAIL PROTECTED]
