No, it won't, because if a piece of code has been released under particular license conditions (say, GPLv2) you can't revoke that. You can't rewrite the license for old sources -- you can only upgrade the license for new releases. And for that, 'or later' is a much better formulation than 'or latest', because it also allows you to choose NOT to upgrade if that is your desire or interest. _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
