From: Yusuke Endoh Date: 2010-06-06T13:37:17+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:30608] [Feature #2032][Assigned] Change the license to "GPLv2+ or Ruby's original". Issue #2032 has been updated by Yusuke Endoh. Status changed from Closed to Assigned Priority changed from High to Urgent Hi, > I merged a patch in [ruby-dev:39172]: reject readline6. I really hate the check that rejects linking with readline6, because it is actually *new feature*. The 1.9.2 feature was already frozen. Rather, preview3 was even released. I'm not against the feature itself, but now is a bad time. I'll revert in a few days. Of course, the license issue still remains. But it is enough to just add a note to document. I think we have no obligation to add such a mechanism to check readline6 and to reject its link. In addition, I suggest to change Ruby's license to triple (Matz's, GPLv2 and GPLv3) right now. I think no one objects GPLv3. The current license will makes us unhappy because we cannot use not only readline6 but also other GPLv3 libraries that will be increased. We can discuss adding "or later" clause or changing to BSDL after 1.9.2 is released. Matz, how about the triple license? -- Yusuke Endoh ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2032 ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
