Then as others add stuff add their exceptions there and=20 point to the licence in docs which would contain a copy of the GPL-2 with i= ts=20 exception as provided by that project? The Eigen licence is pretty much -with-linking-exception except it is a=20 template library and so it is built into the code rather than linked to.=20 Hence the need for different wording as is also the case with some of the S= TL=20 stuff. If people are happy with this solution it seems reasonable to me too. I wil= l=20 add Eigen and this licence this evening if I don't hear any big objections = to=20 it. Otherwise we could end up with 50 GPL-2-with-*-exception... --nextPart1796995.zdbNMQvnK8 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBGRw96zgRsaX1BF70RAkzNAJ4otXOi0n44+/xoEX8QSDjvE5ZEaACghvKx tm24mZmjH4KhN4rcU/w5Ee4= =9bAS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1796995.zdbNMQvnK8-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
