handsoap license #18

Closed gettalong closed 15 years ago

gettalong commented 15 years ago

Hi,

handsoap is currently under an CC-BY 2.5 license which is not compatible with GPL v3. Would it be possible for you to release handsoap under a GPL v3 compatible license or to explicitly dual-license it?

Best regards, Thomas

I'll have to check up on that, as the code belongs to my former employer, Unwire.

gettalong commented 15 years ago

I have seen that, yes. It would help a lot if this would be possible!

troelskn commented 15 years ago

OK. I have been given the go to issue Handsoap under LGPL 3. That should be compatible with GPL, I assume?

gettalong commented 15 years ago

Yes, that would be fine (as can be seen at http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/gpl-faq.html#AllCompatibility) - thanks a lot for the help and the fast response!
