[SM-DEVEL] Template Licensing issues in -DEVEL

[Alexandros V. <av...@no...>]

Aside from Nutsmail's possible violation of the GPL license, I'd like
to take a top-down approach.

Consider that a third party wants to make a new design / template, even
with significant changes in UI / usability, for Squirrelmail-*DEVEL*,
which has the display logic separated.

If I apply Tomas' logic, I believe the conclusion is that the third
party CANNOT distribute this without using the GPL license.

The files under template/ are still under the GPL license, not even a
somewhat more liberal L-GPL (even though I don't know if that would
help someone provide a proprietary design/interface). And, in order to
make these files, the third party _has_ to rely on the existing
template files licensed under the GPL, since there would be no
other way of knowing the variable structures, id/class names, files
needed etc.

Is my logic correct or do I miss something? Because if it is, then there
is currently _no_ way that a third party can provide a Nutsmail-like
design service, at least without using the GPL.
