You can release the work as a compilation under a license of your |
| 20 |
choosing, so long as all the components that make up your work are |
| 21 |
licensed under a similar and compatible license. As an example, if you |
| 22 |
used a package that was under, for example, the ut2003 license, then you |
| 23 |
could not license under any GPL-compatible license since you would be |
| 24 |
unable to provide the source code for ut2003/4. |
