It's not possible for anyone to "revoke" the GPL license on the code that is already out there. In the worst case "we" fork the last GPL/LGPL release. The GPLv3 question is more valid though - I have not seen the license for CUPS but unless it explicitly states "2 or later" of GPL then it can not be relicensed under GPLv3. -Taj. _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
