Can one "combine" code, you idiot? Are you saying that one can't "combine" Old BSD with New BSD licensed code? Contrast it with http://www.keionline.org/ec-mysql "There are fundamental and unavoidable legal obstacles to combining code from programs licensed under the different GPL versions. " Yeah... http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/gpl-faq.html#AllCompatibility "How are the various GNU licenses compatible with each other?" Compatibility matrix. Uh morons. regards, alexander. -- http://gng.z505.com/index.htm (GNG is a derecursive recursive derecursion which pwns GNU since it can be infinitely looped as GNGNGNGNG...NGNGNG... and can be said backwards too, whereas GNU cannot.) _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
