I tried it yesterday and it worked. I now tried it again and it still 
works.

Let's take this off-list. Can we connect around 14:00 EST so I can watch 
the log files while you are trying to do it?

Thanks,
Christian

Sorry, I had to go. Anyway, I've found that the problem is the upload
size limit, which my file, weighing at >500KB, exceeds. Somehow,
yesterday I've missed the "Request Entity Too Large" error at the top of
the page.

Removing some assets from the plugin has made the upload go through.

I will consider a different way of distributing the assets: in fact,
I don't like such large plugins myself.

Thanks for your support!
Life.

Licensing question: compatibility between Vim license and GPL

2023-10-15 Thread Lifepillar
Can code released under Vim license include third-party code released
under GPLv2 or GPLv3?

I have read that Vim license is "GPL-compatible", but it is not clear to
me which way such compatibility works.

Thanks for providing legal advice for free ;)

I have a cron job that checks for new and changed scripts by
comparing certain sections of the scripts page to the previously
downloaded page.  I was concerned that changes to the site might
break that cron job, but I am happy to report that it still works.

Regards,
Gary

I am not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV; but I believe that the
following (at the bottom of the ":help license" text) is relevant:

- According to Richard Stallman the Vim license is GNU GPL compatible.
  A few minor changes have been made since he checked it, but that should not
  make a difference.

- If you link Vim with a library that goes under the GNU GPL, this limits
  further distribution to the GNU GPL.  Also when you didn't actually change
  anything in Vim.

- Once a change is included that goes under the GNU GPL, this forces all
  further changes to also be made under the GNU GPL or a compatible license.

- If you distribute a modified version of Vim, you can include your name and
  contact information with the "--with-modified-by" configure argument or the
  MODIFIED_BY define.


Best regards,
Tony.
