Rosetta Code talk:Copyrights: Difference between revisions

The copyright page tells one can not provide GPL contents on RC, because the FDL is not compatible with the GPL. This is partially true, and also partially false, because in fact it is more complex than this. In fact it is true if one wishes that both of these licenses apply at the same time on the same content (an '''and''' basis), but it is right possible for an RC contributor to write on his page that the content that he provides can be used under GNU/FDL '''or''' GNU/GPL. On an '''or''' basis, the statements of the 2 licenses don't apply at the same time and don't interact with opposite statements. As an example of this there are several libraries available on the web which can be used under the GPL '''or''' a proprietary license (which you buy). In these cases the GPL and the proprietary license are not compatible and are not applied both at the same time on an '''and''' basis. --[[User:Blue Prawn|Blue Prawn]] 20:16, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
