Re: [LAU] [LAA] [ANN] gigedit 0.1.0

Am Mittwoch, 17. Oktober 2007 schrieb Mark Knecht: I am not a lawyer, but neither the COPYING-file nor the (randomly picked) src/linuxsampler.cpp state anything but gplv2 (or later) for the license. The README states something about getting the authors authorization to use the app in commercial software or hardware. While I think this is some legit modification because they don't want their work to be used commercially without them knowing, I don't think this rule applies as they probably didn't ask all the participating authors (and the AUTHORS file states quite a few) for their permission to change the license. Which leads me to believe that linuxsampler is (still) free software as in free-software-defined-by-the-fsf. Or anyone who made a contribution to linuxsampler before the change in the license and wasn't asked about the license-change can request for reversing the license-change or their contribution to be removed from LS.
