I was curious, since EffecTV is GPL and a significant part of PiDiP is a port of EffecTV --- does this make an impact on what licenses are valid for PiDiP?

ola,
you're totally right that we should get out of sourceforge, that grants more rights to US citizens than to others.
we can find a domain in .fi, .de, .ch or .nl, if you know what i mean.
so yeh you can remove unauthorized and pidip from sourceforge.
ciao, sevy
pd _ and could you leave me in peace _forever_ ? thank you

You'll also have to consider SourceForge's Terms of Use, which seem to disallow software with licenses that do not fit into the Open Source Definition.

# The software involved must be licensed under an Open Source license.
(from http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sitelegal/wiki/Controversial%20project%20ho...) Notes on the application of the Open Source Definition ΒΆ
The Open Source Definition requires that all Open Source licenses not limit the ways or people that are permitted to use the software. Though some developers of software may wish to prevent illegitimate use, the following should be kept in mind:
- You can't restrict the way folks use your software, only make
recommendations. That is: You cannot say that your software will not be used to commit a crime, or for military purposes; but you can recommend against breaking laws or using the software for military purposes, or the operaton of nuclear power facilities. No discrimination against purpose of use.
- You can't restrict who can use your software: business,
military, individuals, individuals with past criminal record can all use your software alike. No discrimination against people.
- You can't license your software to prohibit use by T7
countries, but you can include clauses to note the requirements placed on the licensee by the US Government, and state that users should abide by all applicable laws.

ola,
pidip and unauthorized are now published with a non-standard license that says :
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
the code published here can be studied, modified, used by anyone that provides all the original credits and sources in derivative projects.
there are restrictions on its use, it cannot be used for :
- military amd/or repressive use
- commercial installations and products
- any project that promotes : racism, nationalism, xenophobia, sexism,
homophobia, religious hatred or missionarism .. ( expandable list)
this is not a standard license.
