However it was specifically meant for me, to make that MCDU. ..and now you want to carry on develop it further. ;-) > I suppose that I can arrange for some kind of copyright transfer, but > as I said I don't know the GPL very well and don't know whether this > is possible. ..the very best way _is_ the GPL, if he licensed it to you for this purpose, and your MCDU work needs a stronger license, go for http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html and the http://www.fsf-europe.org/projects/fla/fla.en.html ..the first time _ever_ the GPL is being challenged in court, is in the The SCO Group v IBM lawsuit in Utah, http://groklaw.net/ , where TSCOG draaaaag its feet on evidence discovery despite year old court orders and instead writes Congress to try have them rule the GPL and US copyright law, unconstitutional in the US. ;-) .._everybody_ else has backed off from legal procedings because of the wise way the GPL makes use of Copyright Law in all countries, in the EU, copyright is not transferable, so, we close that hole with the FLA. ;-) > The photo was NOT taken from any product by any organisation or > company whatsoever. Ok, Honeywell, maybe. But that problem you will > have forever. ..IBM is making a major legal and PR investment in the Utah Court, shepardizing Republican Judges Kimball and Wells into closing _every_ appeal route opportunity on Utah's Republican Senator Orrin B. Hatch' son and TSCOG counsel, Brent Hatch. ;-) Groklaw is _great_ fun. ;-) ..IBM's counsel is known as Nazgul for a reason, think legal pile driver. Oh, and, "brent" in norwegian means 'burned'. ;-) -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;-) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry... Scenarios always come in sets of three: best case, worst case, and just in case. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
