Well, if you want to stop people from taking your code and slapping the GPL on it, then a BSD-style license is a bad choice. If I understand you right, you want a license that allows compiling together with GPL code to form a GPL executable, but forbids changing the license of the source code to GPL. I don't know of such a license, and I think it could be difficult to write one. You'd have to differentiate between two different kinds of derivative work. -- Bj�rn Persson PGP key A88682FD omb jor ers @sv ge. r o.b n.p son eri nu
