The preferred way is of course to submit the original with the ALv2 license, and then add the CC-BY-SA 3.0 license when committing to the second project. This is the standard way with absolutely no problems independent of how closed or open the second license is. You can also add the double license directly in our repo, here we would need to look more careful at the license to see if it limits our own usage or that of downstream projects. > > I plan to produce images extensions for AOO in the biological area > (principally Hematology, Microbiology and Histology) with original images > that I have myself already produced on my own equipment or that I could > obtain with an authorization from labs where I have some contacts. > Sounds very interesting. > > So, the big question.
