</div></div>So, can we supose that the code written by Michal is GPL? Or we need a<br>
spesific autorization to that? And what version of GPL? As far as I<br>
know, in TuxMath 95% is GPL 2, but my code is actualy under GPL 3.<br>
Should I use also 2?<br>
<font color="#888888"><br></font></blockquote><div>Did Michael write this code for us? Where did it come from?<br><br>You can't decide single handedly to change the licence of the code! The project is GPL 2 and needs discussion if we are migrate the entire program to GPL 3. I don't know if we can mix GPL 2 and GPL 3 and it would certainly seem to work against the interoperability ethos which underpins free software.<br>
<br>I'd always licence my code under the licence of the project. With artwork I provide choices for maximum reuse, but never changing the licence of a piece of work - ie if it starts out PD regardless of how much time I spend it stays PD, even if I could relicence under a less free "free content" licence I don't.<br>
