That would be EXTREMELY against the spirit of open source and the use of GPL. It would also make it impossible for any TPV to use their code anymore: TPV's added patches that are pure-GPL. LL does not have copyright on those patches, so those remain GPL. Therefore it is not possible to link code resulting from those patches with code that is GPL+TPVP, which would be non-GPL because it has extra restrictions. Thus, if this is true (or if they'd do that in the future) then it is EXTERMELY important to understand; because it DOES mean that all TPV's have to stop using any additional code released by LL after 30 April 2010. -- Carlo Wood <ca...@alinoe.com> _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
