A minor correction: licens...@fsf.org *could* determine that since they are the copyright holders. If they say it's OK, that would be permitting such a scheme. However, the FSF, as a matter of policy, *does not* respond to queries about whether or not some scheme violates the GPL. > I believe in free software as a contribution to a better society and > believe in the use of licenses such as GPLv3 to promote software sharing > by providing a software commons that can be used by those who will > contribute their changes to that commons, and do not consider this list - > or any GNU Project list - an appropriate place to seek advice about how to > do things going against the spirit of that commons. I very much agree!
