Do you know a project where such licensing scheme is used as an acceptable practice? As to be honest, it looks counter productive against GPL ideas.

- halomru 10y agoIn my eyes that practise would be equivalent with dual-licensing your code under GPL and the (more liberal) license of your choice. This happens with some frequency. It's a way to honor the GPL idea for the stuff you link to without having to follow GPL ideas for your new code.
- SXX 10y agoLinux kernel is one for instance. Tons of drivers there include GPU one are permissively licensed to make it possible to reuse that code for other kernels like BSD.
