> The GPL allows you to grant permission to do new things, but won't > allow you to put new restrictions on users. See GPL section 6. Nick, I believe Carsten is referring to a section in recent Microsoft SDKs' EULAs banning their use in developing (or distribution in conjunction with) "Potentially Viral Software" [sic]. A sub-clause of that section more-or-less defines the term "Publicly Available Software", approximating the concept of copyleft, and requires that "Recipient shall not distribute the Software, in whole or in part, in conjunction with any Publicly Available Software." Just in case Microsoft Corp.'s target is still unclear, that sub-clause goes on: Publicly Available Software includes, without limitation, software licensed or distributed under any of the following licenses or distribution models, or licenses or distribution models similar to any of the following: (A) GNU's General Public License (GPL) or Lesser/Library GPL (LGPL), (B) The Artistic License (e.g., PERL), (C) the Mozilla Public License, (D) the Netscape Public License, (E) the Sun Community Source License (SCSL), and (F) the Sun Industry Standards License (SISL)." -- Cheers, find / -user your -name base -print | xargs chown us:us Rick Moen [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- license-discuss archive is at http://crynwr.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3
