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?
Relicensing of EffecTV code from GPL to Degoyon license is ILLEGAL, and linking of EffecTV code frorm GPL to Degoyon license is ALSO ILLEGAL. Back in 2005, I hadn't considered the use of EffecTV code (if I recall), but there was other GPL'ed code anyway in PiDiP, which was already making redistribution ILLEGAL.
Any change of license of EffecTV must get prior written approval by Kentaro Fukuchi and any other possible contributors, but that doesn't make GPL compatible with Degoyon license (the GPL must be replaced by a more «bendable» license such as plain BSD).
