No GPLv2-only projects on SavannahNo GPLv2-only projects on SavannahPosted Mar 23, 2006 17:59 UTC (Thu) by vonbrand (subscriber, #4458)In reply to: No GPLv2-only projects on Savannah by Wol Parent article: No GPLv2-only projects on Savannah
Impossible. Either it grants you the exact same as GPLv2 does, or it takes away something. If the former, why bother. If the later, it is not compatible, by definition. Besides, the draft as circulated has the option of creating variants of GPLv3 (with extra restrictions) that will end up being incompatible among them... Besides, my code might be GPLv2, but if GPLv3 contributions seep in, the only valid license for the whole is GPLv3 (as it is more restrictive than GPLv2). Just like Linux has BSD licenced pieces, but the whole must be handled as GPLed.
