You can choose whatever terms you like, as long as they don't deny the rights granted through the GPL. I.e., you can add permissions to your own contributions, but you can't use your contributions to subtract from the freedoms any recipient of the whole work would get if the whole work was available only under the GPL. > GPL-encumbered. This phrase does not make sense. It's like e.g. "helium-enhanced paperweight" (assuming it's designed for use in an atmosphere more dense than helium, like ours :-) If anything, helium would reduce the paperweight's ability to keep paper from flying, just like the GPL lifts copyright holder's ability to keep the software from being modified and/or distributed. -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.lsd.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ Free Software Evangelist oliva@{lsd.ic.unicamp.br, gnu.org} FSFLA Board Member ¡Sé Libre! => http://www.fsfla.org/ Red Hat Compiler Engineer aoliva@{redhat.com, gcc.gnu.org} -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
