If you actually meant: "You can use it under GPL, which implies you releasing modifications; or you can contact me to get a commercial license that doesn't force you to do that", then it's fine. Your software is open source, and as the copyright owner you are perfectly within your rights to provide it under a different license to select users, as long as everyone has the option of using it if they abide by the terms of the GPL. - Dave > > Thanks, > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Project Hosting on Google Code" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/google-code-hosting?hl=en. > > -- Google Switzerland GmbH Brandschenkestrasse 110, Zurich, Switzerland 8002 Zurich Identifikationsnummer: CH-020.4.028.116-1 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Project Hosting on Google Code" group.
