Follow-up Comment #2, task #6965 (project administration): Hi Patrick!
I am reading [http://www.gnu.org/licenses/rms-why-gplv3.html] to learn about the GPLv3. I discovered one potential problem to licensing this software under the GPLv3 (as I would wish). Currently, the original 'fbi'[1] code, upon 'fim/fiv' is based, is GPLv2. I modified some original 'fbi' files, and I distribute them in this software. So, I argue, I cannot upgrade my whole fim/fiv program to GPLv3, but I have to keep GPLv2 (with the new address), right ? I'll post the 'updated' tarball to the tracker as soon as you indicate me the right licensing. Currently, I posted an 'old-addressed' tarball. Please consider I'll change the FSF address when the correct license is decided. Another issue are the doctags.c and vim2html.pl files, which were taken from the Vim distribution as part of the Vim documentation build programs. Here they serve as helper programs building the documentation. The Vim documentation says Vim is 'GPL compatible' , so this shouldn't be a problem. Even for the GPLv3, as Vim is not GPLv2, but 'Charityware'. Hope my considerations are correct.. ciao [1] fbi is a software homed at [http://linux.bytesex.org/fbida/] (file #13378) _______________________________________________________ Additional Item Attachment: _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?6965> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
