This is what e.g. Lawrence Rosen also mentions ;-) BTW: Our preliminary license compatibility information is now on-line: http://www.osscc.net/en/licenses.html#compatibility To switch to German, use the top level at: http://www.osscc.net/en/index.html Most people may know the OpenSource book from Larwence Rosen (see link in our web page). I have a new paper on License combinations from my collegue Tom Gordon (US-lawyer) on our server at: http://www.osscc.net/pdf/QualipsoA1D113.pdf Hope this helps to understand things better.....
