License comaptibility? #2
Comments
Hi, Gondur!
Thank you, I'll see what to do about it, I am not a big expert in licenses
:-)

… Hi,
please reconsider the license for your code parts (you can change your
original stuff license anytime...it get complicated when others start to
contribute) as the MS shared source license and GPL are incompatible.
Maybe use public domain (CC0) or a permissive license (BSD).
For instance the JA2 stracciatella project makes all own additions for
license compatiblity reasons public domain.
good luck with your porting work! :)

closing it as I added license.txt |
Hello Alariq, i saw the closing on this topic but the license is still GPL v3 :/ |
some links to license comaptiblity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/License_compatibility The MS shared source license and GPL are incompatible - you can't edit them under GPLv3 (your work) there is even a problem in linking stuff together if files are clearly separated - I still woudl recommend to put your work under the CC0 or BSD license. |
another possiblity is that you ask MS for relicensing: in fact they did it for OpenAllegiance! this would be the best case - https://www.freeallegiance.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=72206 |
Hi, gondur. All I need is so that derivatives of my work should also be open sourced. If you know how to do it feel free to suggest an option. I'll look at the last link you've posted |
Hello Alariq - yes, I understand. But you have to care about the original license - ms shared source. I see the following options:
NOT a option:
