Follow-up Comment #28, task #7015 (project administration): Hi Sylvain,
First of all, I would like to thank you for your efforts in getting the licensing issues resolved for this submission. Certainly, I can mail Eric Brill regarding re-licensing of the software. Before I do so, however, I feel that I should at least understand myself "the precise problem and/or the imcompatibility(s) with GPL" with the current license. I just had a re-look at the license of Brill's tagger and then compared it with "W3C SOFTWARE NOTICE AND LICENSE" http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/2002/copyright-software-20021231 I did NOT find any basic difference between the terms of these two licenses. They use almost the same wordings. According to FSF web page, http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html >>>> W3C Software Notice and License This is a free software license and is GPL compatible. <<<< Now I would like to request you to let me know what you consider is the difference between the Brill's license and "W3C SOFTWARE NOTICE AND LICENSE". Then I can request Eric Brill for possible re-licensing by citing the specific problem with the current license. Cheers, Golam _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?7015> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
