LGPL 3.0 is incompatible with LGPL 2.x (where 'x"is whatever version OOo uses.) The incompatibly is purely between licenses. LGPL 3.0 prohibits a few things that LGPL 2.1 may allow. (TiVoization is the best known example.) What will happen is much the same as when OOo switched to LGPL 2.1 only, scrapping the earlier version that allowed for closed source forks to be created. [Actually, it will be much easier to see if an OOo repackager is violating the license.] xan jonathon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
