Soundcheck.... I am not piggy-backing on Triodes stuff! I am not trying to commercialise squeezelite! I am not pushing a product! Your two sentences above have led to a private conversation, which has resulted in me asking a question, which is really what it all boils down to. I am going to ask you the same question. Let's suppose I personally would like some functionality added to squeezelite for my own use. Let's suppose that has been done. Let's suppose that the functionality could be useful to others. Parts of the code for that functionality cannot be released under GPL! Which would you prefer? a) That the functionality was never released to be used by others and kept solely for my own private usage, or b) a way was found to make it compatible with being used with other code that is GPL'd, so that the very specific "new" functionality was available in binary only form, free of charge, and totally up to an end user, whether they use it or not? Fact! Neither the HDCD decode, nor the PCMtoDSD functionality can be released under the GPL, or under any license which is compatible with the GPL, to have it compiled into a single re-distributable "player" binary along with squeezelite code. You should not assume that because someone wants to release code, with some (but not all) code under a non-GPL license and binary only, it is being done for commercialisation or financial gain. In case I didn't already make this clear.... *All squeezelite code, or derived from squeezelite code would never be released under any license other than the GPL, with source available.* Rather than consider I might want to use your time (and others) as testers for my own gain, you might want to consider other possibilities and not speculate about how I might be trying to commercialise squeezelite and piggy-back on the work of others. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JackOfAll's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3069 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97046 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
