Re: [Openocd-development] License

Where does it say that you cannot revoke an exception in a new version/revision?
That doesn't make sense???

More reasons for any serious projects to steer clear from GPL and go with some other license.
GPL, Gray_area Public License, where nobody can ever be sure of anything because the language is so confusing and abstract.

Cool it .... crazy wont build support.

The code can of course be removed, but the legal exception once granted cannot be easily revoked.
