variants of the GPLvariants of the GPLPosted Jul 2, 2007 16:42 UTC (Mon) by zooko (subscriber, #2589)In reply to: variants of the GPL by sitaram Parent article: GPLv3 is out
I guess there is a specific meaning of "transitivity" that you are using. Care to enlighten us?
When I said "transitivity", I meant "whether something is required to be applied to derivative works". In the message to which you were replying, I was discussing the fact that the GPLv3 prevents a first party from adding a clause when granting a licence to a second party, which clause the second party is obligated to apply to a third party, should the second party redistribute the work or a derived work to a third party. This means that we can't use GPLv3 and add a mandatory transitive clause to it -- the second party can always choose to remove that clause.
Regards,
Zooko
