Actually it is functional information which I think can be copied under US and EU laws, but it is considered good manners to ask first :) > btw how is it with gpl 2-3. is re-use of the code allowed in both > directions? IANAL, but... reuse is not allowed in _any_ direction. A pity, but a necessary consequence of the nature of the license: strong copyleft requires code to redistribute under the same license, and not to mix with other licenses -- even other copyleft licenses. I don't know if you can add a provision to the GPLv3 to allow mixing with other licenses; in this case a mix of licenses might be possible -- but GPLv2 code cannot be mixed with other code, so I don't think this would work. Now, if your code is licensed under GPL version 2 *or later* you can relicense the file under GPL version 3, and then reuse it. Alex.
