Oh - then I assume its legal.<br>

<p>
|
|
Yes. Far too often. LGPL isn't good either. If the relaxed GPL is legal, <br>
|
|
what seems to be the case, it is of course _much_ better than LGPL.<br>
|
|
I was just afraid it might be invalid.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
In another project (guess which), we got so tired of all that strange<br>
|
|
restrictions (L)GPL imposed and the reservations some groups (BSD people<br>
|
|
especially) had against it, that we entierely switched to MIT style, with<br>
|
|
the explicit comment, that you may relicense it to (L)GPL as you like.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
CU, Andy<br>
