Then, you think that the "Balkanisation menace" is only smelly FUD, Yes. and that GPLv2 and v3 can cohesist without problems ??? Yes. GPLv2-only has co-existed with GPL incompatible licenses for a long time, so why not here. The GPLv2-and-later can easily co-exist without any problems too. I'm not an expert, but we can have a GNU toolchain v3 and a Kernel v2 ??? Sure, why not. The BSD folks had a GPL incompatible license, and used GCC all within all known legal bounderies. _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list [email protected] https://mail.fsfeurope.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion
