I don't see why you would want to allow this. Salut, Sven ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

Of course, PD (as well as BSD or similar license) bear the possibility that a resultant software will not remain open-source. However, I see it as an advantage because I like the code to be made part of a commercial software.

Write a Public-Domain Library in ANSI C (perhaps dependant on some external libraries) that can be used to render those gradients based on their guides. 2. Write a Public-Domain GUI Editor in Gtk+ that can be used to interactively edit and display those gradients. 3. Create Gimp PDB entries to control and manipulate those gradients. 4. Integrate all of them with the GIMP, while making part of the code of the glue GPLed. This is of-course, assuming the project will be accepted, and if my future partner agrees with this scheme. Can Sketch use C code that is GPLed? I know that it is written in Python and that the Python license of the newer Python releases is incompatible with it. In any case, I will try to make as much as the code as possible, distributable under the public domain, so there shouldn't be any problem there. But first, I'll have to start learning how to render those gradients.
