I believe the copyright holders can release with a different license. This never happens with collaborative projects because there tends to be too many individuals holding the copyright. I believe ghostscript does a similar thing. Their latest releases are private and the older releases are rereleased as GPL. -- Glen Inderjeet Singh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 23/04/99 09:29:18 Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: (bcc: Glen Stampoultzis/ITD/MEL/Ansett/AU) Subject: webmacro license Justin Wells wrote: > I am a big supporter of the FSF approach, and one of those people > who think ESR's approach is a retreat. > > If someone wants to use WebMacro outside the GPL--they can license > it from me like a commercial product, in effect paying for the > development of free software. > Hi Justin, I have a (stupid) question: Once you release WebMacro under GPL, then how can you release it again under a (different) commercial license ? Wont you be prohibited to do so by the same GPL ? Sorry to sound harsh, but basically, how can you choose to make money off its derivations but prevent others from doing so ?
