Hallo, rama hat gesagt: // rama wrote:
of course i wouldn't allow any of my work, which is all free to use, change, whatever GPL, to be included in any non-free project. however I wonder how it can be controlled. I mean, if any closed-source project would like to steal code from open-source ones, who would be able to avoid that?
I'm sure Olaf never would do that.
sorry, didn't want to mean that, was not thinking that way... i dripped a bit away thinking in more general terms, so it was quite out of the point.
at the same time i want to thank a lot to the open source from Olaf's as I've learnt a lot from it about dealing with externals code and more (C, ogg internals..) that's why i expressed as first feeling "it's sad to hear..." that good brains can still stay without releasing their code, so their knowledge.
i can understand contractual conditions, but I would reject project which forbid me to release them 'open'. but don't want to to flame on. i also know what's to not have for buying bread as Olaf mentioned previously on this thread.
best, r
IMO if Olaf wants to keep his newer code "non-free" then in fact we already somehow have a fork.
hmmm yep, somehow.. but what about thinking the other way round: oggPRO is a fork into non-free!
Yep, somehow. ;)
