No. That is not how it works. Do you not understand that all the other authors especially the original author of the codebase has agreed to the new license? And the code was removed from the authors who did not agree to the change. So the codebase is clean. > ... > >> And that is why I asked, since the Cendio code was removed, what is it >> that Peter is complaining about?

It does not work this way. Otavio, if it worked like you are saying then thousands of commercial projects that have there basis in open source projects would be illegal. And they are legal.
