My upstream has written a gpl-2 program and added some Creative commons attribute files in a sub directory from another project, with CC license. It is all distributed in one tarball. I look on the FSF web site and it says these licenses are incompatible. But wait, the CC stuff is only data, not source files. So the 2 kinds of files are never incorporated in the same "program" so GPL license incompatibility does not apply. Both files are freely distributable under their separate licenses so maybe my upstream is OK? But what do the Debian experts think? -- Paul Elliott 1(512)837-1096 pelliott@BlackPatchPanel.com PMB 181, 11900 Metric Blvd Suite J http://www.free.blackpatchpanel.com/pme/ Austin TX 78758-3117 --- "Encryption works. Properly implemented strong crypto systems are one of the few things that you can rely on. Unfortunately, endpoint security is so terrifically weak that NSA can frequently find ways around it."
