I'm not asking different things. The question about the licenses is |
| 10 |
the most important for me and I've asked that same question all the |
| 11 |
time. It's just that now for the first time you partially gave an |
| 12 |
answer. |

OK. This is close to what I'm asking, but not exactly. Anyways, I'm glad |
| 19 |
to see you finally participating in this discussion. |

Let me make my question even more clear with an oversimplified example: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
You have written the program prog-a.c and published it on your site |
| 26 |
under the GNU GPL. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I have _independently_ written the prog-b.c. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Nex, I've found your program and liked it. I decide that your prog-a.c |
| 31 |
and my prog-b.c serve a common purpose and they complement one another. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
The question is if I can take your source (prog-a.c) from your site, put |
| 34 |
it into the same directory with my source (prog-b.c), make an archive |
| 35 |
of that directory and distribute the archive under CDDL? |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
I think it is forbidden, because "prog-a.c" is published under |
| 38 |
the GNU GPL, which means you give me the right to distribute your work |
| 39 |
only under terms of the GNU GPL. |

|
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Am I wrong? |
