As I see
it the current licence is only a security for TT: if an unknown
organisation did make money with SMSQ/E, there would be an argument to
get something for him. IMHO he deserves it. Please Peter, is there a way
to achieve the same result with this GPL stuff???
OTH apparently
Linus does make a lot on money with his free stuff, so
maybe I am wrong
here?
2) If Peter does his developments under GPL, then there is no way
to
prevent someone else to use them further. So his work is obliged to be
made available. Or this subject becomes even darker to
me.
Agreed, but the problem is that if someone converted Peter's work to
run under SMSQ/e and it does involve changes to the operating system.
Why? Because the GPL says that any future changes must also be released
under the GPL licence terms (or so I understand).
