Follow-up Comment #10, task #7015 (project administration): Hi Michael,
Sorry for the delay in replying. I am no legal expert and didn't know how to answer your question. So I thought it may be a good idea to go for an example. After some hectic Googling, finally I found W3C SOFTWARE NOTICE AND LICENSE of World Wide Web Consortium, (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique, Keio University). http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/copyright-software-19980720 This has same wordings as the license of Brill's Tagger, including the sentence "Title to copyright in this software..." Importantly, the page clearly says ... "This formulation of W3C's notice and license became active on August 14 1998 so as to improve compatibility with GPL. This version ensures that W3C software licensing terms are no more restrictive than GPL and consequently W3C software may be distributed in GPL packages." Now if you agree with this then I will change the current mixed-up license of GPoSTTL to entirely GPL. Thanks, Golam _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?7015> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
