My idea of this would be give them dual license on the chip-specific parts (.bit output and maybe Icarus add-ons for part-recognition?), and to allow them to bundle the other GPL parts with proprietary software including linking their own software against the GPL libraries, if they need to. (They are already allowed to sell any GPL software as long as they include reasonable means to get the source, GPL-3 is even better on this point if I recall corretly.)
I'm suggesting to give them dual-license rights just like Traversal and MySQL have. This way, they can bundle and link however they see fit. We give them those rights in exchange for documentation necessary for us to code it. Look at it this way: We need them; they don't need us (much). For them to take the time to help us and to reveal internal information, they need to be getting something big out of it. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
