I contacted the folks at New Earth Time through their web page about the apparent conflict between the GPL(s), Creative Commons License, and their copyright notice that states that explicit permission must be obtained in order to "distribute" or use NET commercially. AFAIK, the Creative Commons License allows commercial use, and the GPL does, but with stipulations intended to ENSURE free distribution, not restrict it. I received a short but polite response from Mark Laugesen, who has "New Earth Time, Canberra" in his e-mail sig. He expressed some interest in TiddlyWiki, and also expressed regret at the situation, but made no concrete offers or promises to change anything. I'm not all all certain that they could make this stick- it seems to me unlikely that dividing the day into 360 units is the sort of thing that can be protected by copyright, although they can probably at least do that with the name. The CONCEPT would only be patentable (in theory) if there were no prior examples... but IANAL, and have no vested interest in contesting their claims or promoting their idea against their wishes. Accordingly, the prototype program NETTimePlugin has been removed from my accessible sites, even in it's pre-release form, even though it was not linked to, to prevent any possibility of "distribution". Not sure what the implications are for the NET site you were working on.
