dizzy:
Just tell them you intend to fork the project if they don't shut up. That'll shut them up. If it doesn't then go ahead and fork it. I'll applaud in advance of that decision. 8)
Inge:
I am sure Peter would understand this forking stuff, but as he's at work for the next 8 hours can you explain it a little for me? Currently Peter has direct submission rights to the main project, and he updated it with 0.64. Does forking mean he starts essentially a new project in his own name, using Quaxi's code as a basis? Or is is just a branch within the main project area?
dizzy:
Forking would mean taking the free as in freedom parts of the code and starting a new project with it. People don't always like it, but it's sometimes necessary when things aren't getting done.
Inge:
Now you're introducing another concept to me "freedom". How are these parts of the code marked, and what is the difference? I thought everything on sourceforge was sort of PD. It all sounds very complicated.
dizzy:
Okay. I'm not a lawyer, but the "LICENSE.txt" indicates that SimPE is your standard GPL v2 code. So, unless you're dealing with some portion of the code that's licensed some other way, it should be okay to use in a new project as long as the new license for the new project is not more restrictive than the GPL itself.
