I was curious, since EffecTV is GPL and a significant part of PiDiP
is a port of EffecTV --- does this make an impact on what licenses
are valid for PiDiP?

ola,
you're totally right that we should get out of sourceforge,
that grants more rights to US citizens than to others.
we can find a domain in .fi, .de, .ch or .nl,
if you know what i mean.
so yeh you can remove unauthorized and pidip from sourceforge.
ciao,
sevy
pd _ and could you leave me in peace _forever_ ? thank you

You'll also have to consider SourceForge's Terms of Use, which
seem to disallow software with licenses that do not fit into the
Open Source Definition.

# The software involved must be licensed under an Open Source

Notes on the application of the Open Source Definition ¶
The Open Source Definition requires that all Open Source licenses
not limit the ways or people that are permitted to use the
software. Though some developers of software may wish to prevent
illegitimate use, the following should be kept in mind:
* You can't restrict the way folks use your software, only make
recommendations. That is: You cannot say that your software will
not be used to commit a crime, or for military purposes; but you
can recommend against breaking laws or using the software for
military purposes, or the operaton of nuclear power facilities.
No discrimination against purpose of use.
* You can't restrict who can use your software: business,
military, individuals, individuals with past criminal record can
all use your software alike. No discrimination against people.
* You can't license your software to prohibit use by T7
countries, but you can include clauses to note the requirements
placed on the licensee by the US Government, and state that users
should abide by all applicable laws.

* any project that promotes : racism, nationalism, xenophobia,
sexism,
homophobia, religious hatred or missionarism .. ( expandable list)
this is not a standard license.
