D'oh! Forgot about that. I was thinking some of the patent clauses might break compatibility, I guess there are multiple v3 restrictions which do so... But the criterion remains: an incompatible license is one which imposes additional restrictions beyond the GPL. That's regardless of whether a license claims to be compatible or not. > Have a nice week-end, Thanks, you too! -Adam -- GPG fingerprint: D54D 1AEE B11C CE9B A02B C5DD 526F 01E8 564E E4B6 Engineering consulting with open source tools http://www.opennovation.com/
