I'd like to check a couple of licensing things before anyone commits this to git. We've had issues in the past where people have not understood what having something added to the main FG repository means and which has caused problems later. Firstly, to have this added to the git repository, it must be released under the GNU GPL v2. On the forum, you've stated that you are only going to release this under some Creative Commons license: (http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=10130&start=60#p105539) Have you now changed your mind, and are _all_ the authors of this happy for it to be released under the GPL? Secondly, are all the works on which it is based GPL compatible (sounds graphics etc.) ? I notice that there are some posts in the forum regarding using an FDM from another FG model, as well as some GPL sounds. If this is the case, then unless the original author has agreed to license the FDM/sounds under a different license, you must release your work under the GPL v2, and cannot simply decide to give your model a different license (See the GPL section 2 - your work is a derivative of their FDM/sounds etc). Apologies if this is all obvious, and preaching to the choir, but it is very important. -Stuart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Oracle to DB2 Conversion Guide: Learn learn about native support for PL/SQL, new data types, scalar functions, improved concurrency, built-in packages, OCI, SQL*Plus, data movement tools, best practices and more. http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
