Hmmm... But, as long as nothing in the Genicorp GPL restricts any right granted in LGPL-2.1, acceptance of Genicorp GPL should not be regarded as a "restriction". A recipient who accepts both the LGPL and an LGPL-compatible licence doesn't lose any right granted by the LGPL, isn't it ? ----- End forwarded message ----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
