I think that the issue is not whether GRASS can use a piece of software<br>under a BSD/MIT license, but whether a piece of software licensed under<br>BDS/MIT can use GRASS.</blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Does that make sense? If this kind of question can be clarified, it might<br>help a lot.<br><br>Michael<br></blockquote></div><br><br>You're right. It's a caracteristic of BSD licenced software to can be integrated into software with different licence, even non-free.
<br>And sometime, GPL'd software aren't enough free because they can't be used by other free software because of licence restriction.<br>That why I think IMHO that some type of code should be licenced under a more permissive licence. I'm thinking about libraries or protocols.
