When you receive code under a separate license, it doesn't matter what the GPL says. The copyright holder is granting a license to the recipient, and that license has nothing to do with the GPL, and nothing to do with other versions of the code that have been licensed under the GPL. Each copy sent out by the copyright holder is a separate, unique work with its own license terms. That we actually have to explain and elaborate this is just asinine. As an example from the purely proprietary world, companies often license their software both by per-user and by site licenses. Someone who has a per-user license can't go to another company which has purchased a site license, read those terms, and decide that it applies to his own company and start making multiple copies. As the phrase goes, you're not even wrong. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
