Thanks for the reply.. I am not in the law domain but if I undestood correcty
you claim that a licence of the software like the GPL+clause of mandatory
redistribution of source code in case of redistribution of products/services
("results") obtained with a modified version of the software woult it make
the software not only GPLv3 incompatible but also would make it not
being "free software" ?
Which of the basic "freedoms" would it be broked ?
I spent only few days in this matters, but I understood that a licence is
compatible when the additional code add a restriction (eg. LGPL->GPL) and is
uncompatible in the opposite case.. or am I going to simple ??
thanks,
Antonello
