If you publish your code under MIT/X11 you explicitly grant others the right to do this. Indeed, if you incorporate MIT code into a GPL project you *must* add the GPL headers to the derived work. There is no obligation to get permission from anyone to do this: you already granted permission when you published your work under MIT/X11. If Paul had removed your copyright, that would be a violation of your license. But this is not the case. So as far as I can tell, Paul Jakma has acted properly, and you and Matthieu Boutier have acted improperly in trying to redefine the terms of your license and add new restrictions after it was granted. -Pieter _______________________________________________ Babel-users mailing list Babel-users@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/babel-users
