[Kreatecd-devel] Licensing issues

[Niels R. <n.r...@pl...>]

Hi,

Read this:

This article really got me thinking. The 
"This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
(at your option) any later version." 

line is quite dangerous. what if the FSF (or whoever owns the license) 
decides to release a new version with a commercial clausule (so the fSF may 
sell commercial licenses...) we can't do anything about it.

What I want to say is, that I'm really shocked by this. I'm not saying that 
we actually should change license :-)

(Though I'm thinking about removing the "or (at your option) any later 
version" clause).

what do you think?
