Anthony: The GPL does not take away any of the
author's rights -- that author may licence any work
under any number of different licences he pleases, and
no one may do a thing about it.
Alain: Agreed. Even commercial licencing is possible.
Nothing stopping you from doing that. The fact that
what you are selling is also available free might
complicates things for you though. ;-)
Anthony: Once the patches start comming in, though,
I'm not sure about the situation.
Alain: Good point, Anthony. When the patches start
coming in (e.g. are added to the FC version), the
licencing of these patches will be FC-GPL. Can you
then add these patches to your own version(s) and
continue to licence these other versions with a scheme
other than FC-GPL?
Alain: Does this reply aptly convey what YOU were
concerned about Anthony?
Anthony: I think the FSF website covers this.
Alain: Keep up abreast of developments (as always).
