I feel a fool as well as look like one. Agagghahgh.
So... whether or not I like the GPL3 right-now-at-this-instant :-) really depends on the meaning of "combination". If I take the meaning which I think Simo referred to yesterday, it means separate but linked interacting modules; i.e. not a patch to my work. e.g. a CMS that uses my template system distributed in one package, in which any patches to the template system MUST be licensed GPL3. However reading again section 13 from: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html it seems like even that may not be the case. So.... I don't apologize for apologizing, but I thank MJ for putting me right again. (shakes head at reflection sadly) Sam
