* [[XML]] [[DTD]]s and [[Schema]]s are under [[GPL]] | |||
:This much is true. | |||
or [[LGPL]] (more licensing schemes are considered) - again viral so that no [[bad copy problem|bad copies]] or [[self-interested fork]]s can be created without us stopping them. | |||
: What the ******* rubbish troll shit is this? Can you explain 142.177.X.X??[[User:Juxo|Juxo]] 14:29 Jun 19, 2003 (EEST) | |||
::Only the [[User:MotherOfTrolls]] can explain [[User:142.177.X.X]]. Until then, this one issue can be explained (below). Trolls prefer however the term [[compost]] to "rubbish" or "shit", as their output is wholly [[organic]]. | |||

If you are considering any other license scheme than [[GPL]], which it said you were, [[LGPL]] must be the very next one considered, as it is viral but only to the library or schema level, i.e. does not infect anything that uses that code or library or schema at arm's length as long as it does not modify it. [[GFDL]] is actually more like LGPL because GFDL has [[Invariant Section]]s and other [[Secondary Section]]s to which the normal viral rules don't apply. These are like the calling code, or larger framework, that might rely on LGPL libraries. | If you are considering any other license scheme than [[GPL]], which it said you were, [[LGPL]] must be the very next one considered, as it is viral but only to the library or schema level, i.e. does not infect anything that uses that code or library or schema at arm's length as long as it does not modify it.

It's not sourceforge nerds you need here, it's people from NGOs and charities and churches and institutes that study [[fair trade]], [[safe trade]], [[ethical investing]] and [[moral purchasing]] (especially). Nerds want certainty, but those other groups want peace and justice. Only you can decide who to satisfy. - trolls, eternal. | It's not sourceforge nerds you need here, it's people from NGOs and charities and churches and institutes that study [[fair trade]], [[safe trade]], [[ethical investing]] and [[moral purchasing]] (especially).

Ok... this is brutal copy-paste from work copyrighted by OSDN, but I guess I can count on this being "fair use" | |||
'''Changing licenses (from terms of use @ sf.net)'' | |||
--snip-- | |||
You may select a different Open Source license for your project at a later date, so long as you have the legal capability to do so, your file release clearly relates this change, and your Trove categorization is updated appropriately. It should be noted that license changes are not retroactive (i.e. you may not change the licensing terms of materials you have already released under one Open Source license). | |||
