He could very well write a custom GPL that is compatible with regular GPL, thus allowing any project to include his project to be GPL or his custom GPL, not only his GPL variant.
- nsgi 12y agoThe project would have to allow commercial use, which would contradict his custom GPL.
- NotEMoose 12y agoExcept the GPL is actually non-free: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_General_Public_License#Derivations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_General_Public_License#Der... However you could make a derivative, but it's of little value.
- belorn 12y agoThe preamble text of the GPL is non-free, as is the usage of the name GPL and GNU in it. I could not find if GPL and GNU is trademarked, as that would serve a similar purpose.
