Yeah, it is the main reason for my question as I must admit that I'm quite confused about how to mix it in the GPL3, and specifically this point in the GPL FAQ: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#NoMilitary [...] The GNU GPL is designed specifically to prevent the addition of further restrictions. GPLv3 allows a very limited set of them, in section 7, but any other added restriction can be removed by the user. and trying to read the GPLv3 section 7 does not help, is more confusing for me than the FAQ answer, so that is why I'm asking. > And btw, the GPL "header" is > not in all source files. Ah, OK. I guess that they are all under the GPL, just they don't have the notice in them. > What kind of software do you want to write? I'm doing something like a synthesizer that works in the frequency domain; it does FFT analysis of samples, then do all operations in frequency domain before rendering again to time domain. It is just an experiment at this moment, for fun and trying some interesting techniques, I think it will never be something serious but there are two friends that seem to be interested in hacking the sources, so want to be sure that I do it the right way and all pieces I take from other free software sources (lots of them, source is quite a mess right now) can be combined without incompatibilities before passing the source code to others. So far the GPLv3 seems to be the common license that glues all parts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
