Question on license issue
Dear, A question on license issues on Google Code. We (that is, the Eindhoven University of Technology) have developed a piece of software that we are distributing using the CPL license. We have to use the CPL license because we are using third party libraries that actually use this viral license. However, on Google Code there is a project available that actually contains our software, but is licensed (without our consent) using the GPL license. As the GPL license is also viral, clearly there is a conflict here. One cannot simple take a piece of CPL licensed code and distribute it using the GPL license. Could you please tell me what the policy of Google Code is in such a situation? Kind regards, Eric Verbeek. -8 H.M.W.

We aren't in the business of deciding copyright disputes, but we respond lawfully to DMCA takedown requests from copyright holders. http://code.google.com/p/support/wiki/FAQ#How_do_I_report_a_copyright_or_intellectual_property_violation ?
