If livecode's wants that all stacks and content made with the Community version be fully GPL3 compatible, all media used in a stack must be under a CC BY-SA 4.0 type license, which is directly compatible with GPLv3.
I have been trying to follow this thread, not always successfully, but common sense tells me:
If your app stores media files separately on disk, they are not part of the app. They are just files that are loaded into the app. So if you have artwork, audio, video, etc. they can be stored on disk and licensed separately in whatever way you want.
The app itself, if developed with the community version, would have to be GPL. Other people who download your app could re-distribute it, alter it, and re-use it under the same GPL conditions. But they couldn't redistribute your media files as long as those files are licensed under their own, more restrictive license.
Does that sound right to all you guys who read up on this stuff? -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
