[Osggtk-users] osgGtk and GPLv2+

[Matteo M. <mat...@gm...>]

Dear Rick L. Vinyard Jr.,

my name is Matteo Morelli and I'm the developer and the project admin of
RTSS - the Robotics Toolbox for Scilab/Scicos, a GPLv2+ licensed project
(where + stands for "or later")  hosted here at SF.net (group id: 206553
Project Name: rtss).

In order to integrate OSG with GTK and use it in RTSS, I am interested
in including your osgGtk/GraphicsWindowGtk.* and osgGtk/ViewerGtk.*
files in my project's source tree.

However, according to the GPL Compatibility Matrix provided by the FSF,
GPLv3 code cannot be copied/included in GPLv2+ projects unless GPLv2+ is
upgraded to GPLv3. Since I would like to maintain the GPLv2+ license for
compatibility with other GPLv2 softwares related to mine, and since,
after all, we're all developing GPL code (ie. non-proprietary nor closed
source oriented code), I was wondering if you could kindly release your
code also under a GPLv2+ license (like eg. eigen), or simply add some
GPLv2+ friendly linking exceptions.

Thank you in advance for your time. I look forward for your reply.

Best regards,
