[David] I found the discussion in another mail, right :) Below is the quote. I understand better now. > [David] how can this be done, is it something that we can include in > the license ? It's not about the license, it's about ownership. If we own the code and assets, we can chose to allow someone to use it under the terms of another license (like MySQL for example). To do this, we need to get copyright assignments from all contributors to the project, though - otherwise we won't be able to relicense those contributions. _______________________________________________ Hackit Bar mailing list - [email protected] Wiki: http://community.hackit.cx/ List: http://community.hackit.cx/ml/ Forum: http://community.hackit.cx/forum/ Ideas: http://community.hackit.cx/ideas/ IRC: irc://irc.freenode.net/#politis
