Remember that scripting language mentioned before? If someone were to write a script that used both INVERT and STENOG, and then distribute that script, there might be a problem. But that's an issue for another thread. This is no different from perl/python/whatever modules under different licenses.I think this is a quite reasonable summary of the situation.
I'm glad to hear that. I hope this means we will reach consensus soon!
I will point out that further distributors who wish to distribute AIE and INVERT will essentially be bound by the GPL with regards to AIE, even though it is under the MIT/X11 license: they received it under the terms of the GPL, not under the terms of the X11 license.
They had to receive it under the terms of the GPL. They also received AIE under the terms of the MIT X11 license. The work is sort-of dual-licensed, in the sense that the X11 license is compatible with the GPL.
