Revocable GPL (Groklaw)Revocable GPL (Groklaw)Posted Jan 29, 2008 4:11 UTC (Tue) by allesfresser (subscriber, #216)In reply to: Revocable GPL (Groklaw) by stumbles Parent article: The Non-Revocable GPL (Groklaw)
PJ said that she ran it by a lawyer, and the confidence level was pretty much certain that this action is not allowed by the license text. Since ensuring that code freedom, forever, was one of Mr. Stallman's explicit goals in writing the GPL, don't you think that this rather obvious case would be pretty well covered? I'm not sure how the author in question missed this.

Revocable GPL (Groklaw) Posted Jan 29, 2008 4:31 UTC (Tue) by stumbles (guest, #8796) [Link] Yes your quite right in the research PJ did, I should have mentioned that. Like you I thought the samething and that was before visiting Groklaw. Sure, he can change the terms/licensing from this day forward but I cannot fathom what legal angle he thinks will allow it to be retroactive. As Davy Jones said and I paraphrase; "The cat is out of the bag Mr. Turner".
