If you release code under a GPL, LGPL or MIT license and then decide to revoke the license, we are hamstrung from using your *future* improvements but we can still grok and evolve the *previous* code you released before your change of heart. In short, I believe that once I acquire code in my hot little hand that is under a GPL, LGPL or MIT license, there is nothing anyone can do to revoke the rights I have under that license *for that code snapshot*. cs -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
