Note that the second part of the second clause above is ambiguous between: (a) when redistributing the Code in object code form, you may only do so as incorporated into your applications, and (b) when redistributing the Code, you may do so only in object code form and only as incorporated into your applications. I suspect they mean (b). But then it contradicts the first clause which says that you "may use the Code to develop such applications without restriction", since even abstracting from GPL issues, (b) restricts us from our development model which includes a public cvs server so that everybody can send us patches and find bugs in the codebase. > Note that a dual license offers more flexibility than a relicense; Agreed. I didn't actually expect they would license it under GPL, just GPL-compatibly. They have nothing to lose. After all, if they say "no", we can just do a clean-room rewrite--it's a tiny piece of code.
