I do not wish to waste the bandwidth. But I guess it is good to get everyone's (if possible) opinions. This is the first time for me to release work under GMGPL which contains other people's code which is also GMGPL'ed. I released a package MT19937 and was GPL'ed few days ago. My new revision would contain the code from package Ada.Numerics.Float_Random (a-nuflra.adb) which is GMGPL'ed. So my new revision would also be GMGPL'ed. And of course, the package will be switched from GPL to GMGPL or both. But I thought GMGPL (or/and GPL?) supposed to be standard? Why exist the authors' own interpretation of GMGPL, if any? > -- > T.E.D. -- -- Adrian Hoe -- http://greenlime.com/users/adrian.hoe
