You can add GMGPL code to a GPL program, and leave it GPL; the GMGPL code still retains the license, but any permissions above the GPL would be moot if you couldn't use the code without your GPL'ed additions. > But I thought GMGPL (or/and GPL?) supposed to be standard?

If you disagree with how someone is using your code, you get to chose whether to sue them or not. -- David Starner / Давид Старнзр - starner@okstate.edu Pointless website: http://dvdeug.dhis.org What we've got is a blue-light special on truth.
