I am willing to add an exception clause to the license as described in the GPL FAQ[1]. Something like:
In addition, as a special exception, R.W. van 't Veer, gives permission to link the code of this program with the MMBase library (or with modified versions of MMBase that use the Mozilla Public License Version 1.0), and distribute linked combinations including the two. You must obey the GNU General Public License in all respects for all of the code used other than MMBase. If you modify this file, you may extend this exception to your version of the file, but you are not obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do so, delete this exception statement from your version. Relicensing to MPL is out of the question. Remco [1] http://www.fsf.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WritingFSWithNFLibs P.S. This is my 3th attempt at sending email to this list, my emails just don't seem to arrive, neither on the address I subscribed or the maillist page on the www.mmbase.org site.. Who should I contact about this?
