Just to clarify to the Original Poster. GPLed code is not convertible into other licenses, but that does not mean that other code is convertible to the GPL. There are actually very few licenses that allow rereleasing as GPL.
And lets not confuse relicensing with rereleasing. The former requireing the copyright holders permission, the later whatever the license says. So if you rerelease some BSD licensed code under the GPL (without making any modifications, to make things simple), you can't remove the BSD copyright notice, since the work is still licensed under original license. Compare this with Public Domain, which would allow you to do what ever you wish. _______________________________________________ Gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
