You are _not_ changing their licensing terms. You _cannot_ change their licensing terms, with the GPL or anything else. > Again this assumes the GPL licence affects all libraries that are linked > to my code Your assumption is incorrect. The GPL does not and _cannot_ affect the license on anyone else's code. The GPL is a unilateral grant of rights from you to owners of copies of your package. You do not own the copyrights in the jar files, so how could you possibly grant any rights to them? -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI USA _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
