Just to make one distinction: looking up the term "sublicense" (http://dictionary.lp.findlaw.com/), it says the meaning is "a license granted by a licensee that grants some or all of the rights (as to a patent) acquired under the original license". So, "some or all" sounds like either redistributing the code under the same MIT license, or else re-licensing it, granting less rights than the MIT license provides (for example, the GPL). Also, I'm guessing that implies "some or all *(but not more)* rights". You of course can't grant *more* rights, since you're not the copyright holder. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
