Agreed. In particular, in such a hybrid licence, the word "this License" in the GPL text would naturally be taken to refer to the entire hybrid rather than just to the GPL. > To attempt to coerce upstreams into modifications of their intended licenses > by pretending otherwise is, IMHO, deceitful, immoral & hypocritical. I concur. (Bad things do happen if the licensor thinks that such a license is compatible with pure GPL in either directions, though). -- Henning Makholm "*Vi vil ha wienerbrød!*"
