[Ctool-develop] Re: GPL violation notification

[Shaun F. <fli...@so...>]

Kragen,

Thanks, but it doesn't appear to me this program violates the cTool 
license.
	- it doesn't appear to me to be proprietary, its available as source 
code from source-forge.
	- The license file clearly states brcc is derived from cTool, and 
supplies full source for it, and its original license file.

Also, I've recently been convinced to convert the license to LGPL for 
the benefit of Synopsis:
	http://synopsis.sourceforge.net/

I hadn't done any of the paperwork yet, cuz I'm a slacker - but now 
I've changed the cTool license on sourceforge to accurately reflect the 
current license information.

The license for the original cTool package, (which didn't use the GPL) 
had an exemption for research / universities anyhow, since I personally 
know how difficult it can be to get a university to waive what its sees 
as its rights.

Thanks,
Shaun
