Without reading the GPL all over again, I would assume that this is not a problem, even in GPLv3, only that everyone except you (assuming you are the sole copyright owner) would be forced to GPL any program that links your licensing components. Which would in turn make the licensing checks either a contradiction to the GPL terms or at least simple to remove from your code. You could then continue the plot and sue every violator, or just shrug. (Unless the SFLC gets the joke and plays along.) However, the GPL version, useless as it would be, might be a nice teaser if you dual-license your code. You might even get some media coverage for that stunt! Take that, slashdot ;-) (Sometimes I feel that OSS is a job for lawyers, not for developers. And no, I'm not anti-OSS, this comes from someone who just released a few 100K lines of code under LGPL and AGPL.) http://ayende.com/3844/a-customer-service-story#comment6http://ayende.com/3844/a-customer-service-story#comment6Thu, 05 Feb 2009 10:27:40 GMTMaybe This a business opportunity.
