Actually, the only evidence I see for api.c and ole.h being GPL-2+ is the statement on Chicago's project page on SourceForge. http://sourceforge.net/projects/chicago/develop I would rather suggest a license more in line with public domain works, such as Creative Commons zero license, the SQLite public domain dedication, or the GNU all-permissive license. http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/ http://www.sqlite.org/copyright.html http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/License-Notices-for-Other-Files.html Have a nice day, -- Charles Plessy Tsurumi, Kanagawa, Japan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-legal-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
