[Gambas-user] Licensing problems in Gambas

[David Villalobos Cambronero]

Maybe not too usefull but....

1- Can we use GPL 3 for wiki?

2- I think the first stet will be write a mail to www.ibpp.org and ask them for permition. :) And we can make a list of all gb.db.firebird users to see if they how many their are, and maybe write a Letter in name of all of them to let know their will to use Firebird & Gambas.

 Regards

Hi,

There are two licensing problems in Gambas that must be solved.

1) The first one should not be difficult: we must find a license for the 
gambas wiki documentation that makes it free. I need suggestions...

2) The bad problem: gb.db.firebird uses two sources files from www.ibpp.org 
whose license (the Borland Interbase Public License) is not compatible with 
the GPL. This point was raised by Kelly Hopkins, the maintainer of the gnu.org 
free software directory. I'm afraid Gambas will have to lose firebird support, 
but maybe we should ask www.ibpp.org about that. I need help there too!

Thanks in advance for your comments.

Regards,
