If it's your own code, you can change licenses back (say, for the next version) if you want to.
- eli 12y agoOnly if you wrote 100% of it or got other contributors to sign over their copyrights. (right?)
- wolfgke 12y ago"it's your own code" is a special case of this.
- dllthomas 12y agoIf their contributions were licensed to him suitable for inclusion in a project released under a permissive (and GPL compatible, but most are) license, then he could relicense his code and thereby effectively relicense the project. People could, in principle, isolate the BSD (or whatnot) portions and use them in other projects, but that's probably only relevant if it's a significant portion of the code.
- mark_l_watson 12y agoThanks for the suggestion, that is exactly what I did.
