the problem is not my code, but being able to use someone elses bsd-4clause code together with gpl code i want my code to be compatible with everyone elses. if i add an advertizing clause to my code then you may still not combine my code with bsd-4clause code (unless i add an exception allowing others to be advertized too), AND you now may not combine my code with any other gpl code, because then my code is NOT gpl anymore. so "advertize me" ruins just about everything we are trying to achive here. greetings, martin. -- cooperative communication with sTeam - caudium, pike, roxen and unix offering: programming, training and administration - anywhere in the world -- pike programmer travelling and working in europe open-steam.org unix system- bahai.or.at iaeste.(tuwien.ac|or).at administrator (caudium|gotpike).org is.schon.org Martin Bähr http://www.iaeste.or.at/~mbaehr/ -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
