[Context lost from top posting.] Joe Clarke <marcus@marcuscom.com> types: > Right, this I understand. The issue in question is that someone who is > not the owner wants to relicense the software. Someone who is not the owner has to obey the original license. If the original license allows them to relicense it - by which I take it you mean to distribute it with restrictions that weren't in the original license - then they can do that. If the license doesn't allow them to do that, then they can't. Get a lawyer to look over the current license if you want someone who'll pretend to take financial responsibility for the answers. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
