Well, the original author is free to choose any (coherent) licensing scheme for his work. The original author can choose to use GPL plus an extra restriction — Any subsequent modifier or repackager, however, cannot place similar restrictions. So, here the question is whether the restriction was added by those files' authors or by the xvidcore team. -- Gunnar Wolf - [email protected] - (+52-55)5623-0154 / 1451-2244 PGP key 1024D/8BB527AF 2001-10-23 Fingerprint: 0C79 D2D1 2C4E 9CE4 5973 F800 D80E F35A 8BB5 27AF -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
