So what would it mean if Project Foo comes to the ASF, having released their 1.0 beforehand under the GPL, and then I grab the 1.0 code from the ASF repo and release that as my own version of the original 1.0?
Project Foo can only come to the ASF by licensing every bit of copyrightable code and contributions within it under a software grant, which in turn allows the ASF to relicense the entire thing as Apache Licensed code.
Can I release this new version under the Apache License, thereby effectively retroactively relicensing 1.0 under that license, or is that version still GPL, therefore meaning GPL code is checked into the ASF repo?
The copyright owners can non-exclusively license a work under as many licenses as they wish. ....Roy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
