Hi,
I have written some gretl scripts which I would like to publish, but
it seems like some parts of it are covered, or might be covered, by
patents. But I think I could publish the code with some strings
attached, i.e. only use in academia, no allowance to give code to
somebody else.
Now my question is, if it is possible to publish gretl script code
under my own terms, or whether gretl scripts are a derived work of
gretl and must be GPL licensed when they are distributed?
For example perl can be GPL licensed, too, but under
http://dev.perl.org/licenses/
the developers give the permission to distribute perl code under a
non-free license.
I didn't found any thread on this topic on the mailing-list, so if
this has already been discussed, I'm sorry?
Could you let us see the parts you think are covered?
Which specific patents are you worried about?
