Martin, U R too fast. Speedy Gonzales. ;-) I do agree that this is the bad practice to change licences for the known recipes. For the can-utils and socketcand. I'll revert this back to GPLv2.
But, could you, please, allow me to have my own original cannelloni recipe (yes, I developed it with some help from this community) on my own terms? I DID not copy it from anywhere. It is an ORIGINAL. Please, check. Do NOT overspeed. Please. Thank you for your advice.
