Hm, GPL already is a quite specific license, which, although I like it, might impose more restrictions than the original author intended. For the patches I post to the list I assmue a public domain license/no license. Putting the patches themselves under GPL would be a restriction of thise license. But of course you can bundle them with other GPL licenses and licence the whole package as GPL. Of course sometimes I post abstractions from libraries that have a different license. [list]-abs for example has a Pd-style license. > i have used Franks list-abs a lot but i can't use it as abstraction in > netpd since 1) list-abs is no dependency of plain netpd. 2) list-abs > of corse come without version tags, then they would be treated as if > they > had a [version 0.0.0( tag. > but if a bug gets fixed this abstraction wouldn't get updated in netpd. > don't see an other way than adapt it and use it in a subpatch. I cannot really help with that. The [list]-abs won't get version numbers, as there may be many different formats of numbers showing up. Of course you could bundle [list]-abs with netpd as well as a requirement. But then, some list-abs are quite simple/short, so putting them into subpatches is a valid approach as well.
