So I'm right. Using the GPL code does 'spoil' the project. I know I don't HAVE to use the code, it's my choice (you keep getting hung up on my "automatic", etc. phrasings!!!!), but I don't understand the rationale for MAKING THE LICENSE THAT WAY, why it demands the original code become GNU ***and be USELESS for non-GNU projects without making them GNU***. It's that last part in asterisks that I hate. The distribution of said combined work should have NO BEARING on ANY other works that have NO 3rd-party code in them but are based on ORIGINAL code from the combined work! _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
