It might be best for you to find the many many times this has come up in the archives and read away. I think at this point the devs are working away and rarely get into the topic anymore. Original Message Subject: Re: [Linuxsampler-devel] linuxsampler source upgrade to GPLv3

I don't see the point of using the GPL if you don't want other peoples to do what they want with your code. Linuxsampler is (a very good) open source software, but in no way is it a free software. All of the rights provided by the gpl are annihilated by the commercial exception, so why choose the

Hi, We've been through this 'license incompatible' discussion before. The original owners of the code are able to modify portions of the GPL without 'breaking' it. Subsequent users/programmers are not. GrahamG On 8/24/09, Luke Smith wrote: > After reading the GPL, I came to the conclusion that th

Hi! As you might know, LinuxSampler is released under GPL2 with commercial exception. So no matter if GPL2 or GPL3, the commercial exception still applies to LinuxSampler and derivative works. And btw, the GPL "header" is not in all source files. What kind of software do you want to write? CU

2009-08-24 Thread Roberto Gordo Saez
Hello, I want to use the linuxsampler engine source code in a GPLv3 software. I've downloaded linuxsampler-1.0.0.tar.bz2. The usual upgrade permission "either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version" seems to be in place for all .cpp files that I've seen, though I have not l
