But the gpl'ed copy would stay gpl'ed, and you couldn't prevent people from using or making derived works from the gpl'ed copy. Are you sure you have to fork it? I thought you could release your code to the community under the GPL and also take that same code, shrink-wrap it, slap a proprietary license on it and sell it in a store. But it would be the exact same code, just different licenses. This assume that you own the copyright of course. -- Jim Foster - jif "at" computer .org http://www.voicenet.com/~jfoster "Being on a Beemer and not having a wave returned by a ICQ 679709 Sportster is like having a clipper ship's hailing not RAM 2500 Cummins returned by an orphaned New Jersey solid waste barge." -OTL '03 GL1800A _________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.netisland.net/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.netisland.net/mailman/listinfo/plug
