But isn't there this incompatibility issue? Since we ship the skins with Mixxx, they form a whole product that is under GPLv2 (What does it mean to say a license is “compatible with the GPL?” <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhatDoesCompatMean>). But CC-BY-SA can't be "translated" to GPLv2 as seen here <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html.en#ccbysa> (the yellow dotted line indicates it isn't compatible with GPL).
If I understand it correctly, if we didn't include the skins with the release but instead we offered them as a separate download there would be no issue. But since we ship them with Mixxx, both things are a whole product. I'm sorry for being nitpicky, I just want to make sure I understand the thing properly and that we make things right :) 2015-08-23 4:45 GMT+02:00 RJ Ryan <rr...@mixxx.org>: > Hey Ferran, > > We release the Mixxx binary under GPLv2 -- the GPL may be used for other > works but it is primarily oriented towards code and I think the legalese > around it makes it unclear what obligations there are to uphold as an > artist.
