Eh?

Post #285,216 by pwhysall 5/23/07 2:32:32 AM Reply	Eh? As written, what you've said is that all of SuSE Linux has to be under GPL v3, because some bits of it are. This is clearly not the case, because at the very least, X11, Perl and Apache will be in there, all under their own licences. Or did you mean the kernel?

Post #285,217 by Andrew Grygus 5/23/07 3:11:40 AM Reply	Double Eh? Ummm . . . I have a hard time reading it that way. Paragraph #1 doesn't refer to Linux or any other SUSE product at all, just incorporating code into a product, any product. Elsewhere it says "some components" of the SUSE distribution are v3. Doesn't mean the kernel or whetever - a "distribution" includes all kinds of stuff (hell, Debian is up to 21 CDs now). Redistribute that and you're distributing v3 code.

Here's the bit I'm querying: "If your product incorporates any code licensed under GPL v3 your product has to be licensed under [GPL] v3" Now, if your product is "SuSE Linux 10.0" or whatever, that statement is clearly not true, as the product in question is comprised of a number of components which have various licences, including GPL v2, GPL v3, X11, Artistic, MPL, SPL, Apache and BSD licences - and probably more. Just because GNU textutils or whatever has been relicenced under GPL v3 has no bearing whatsoever on the licencing of, say, X11.
