But in reality, this is nothing new. People slap the GPLv2 on combined works which they cannot legally license this way. There have been quite a few surprises. I don't think this change is a major issue for us, we just have to be careful as ever. To be honest, I can't see any problems with this particular aspect of the SHING GPL. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
