| Fn0rdDeflect | hi folks, quick question: | 17:13 |
| Fn0rdDeflect | I have some source code licensed under the cc-by license. am I allowed to redistribute it under the gnu gpl? | 17:13 |
| RainRat | I *think* so. Would be worth getting a expert opinion or contacting the author if it was for something important. | 17:30 |
| *** sympodius has joined #cc | 17:39 | |
| Fn0rdDeflect | I want to submit the code to a sourceforge project, and they don't accept cc-licensed material, so I need to be sure. I guess I'll contact the author | 17:41 |

| paulproteus | Fn0rdDeflect, You're generally right that code under CC-by is not necessarily compatible with the GPL. | 20:53 |
| Fn0rdDeflect | yes, I thought so because the GPL does not enforce the preservation of author attribution | 21:02 |
| Fn0rdDeflect | but then again, some CC licenses have the "share alike" option, which explicitly requires the sharing of derivative works under a compatible license, so I wondered if the licenses without the "sa" option DO allow redistribution under a license that is not compatible. | 21:06 |
| paulproteus | I'm not a lawyer, but you'll see that CC by 3.0 has a few clauses that probably conflict with the GPL. | 21:11 |
| paulproteus | One is the anti-DRM provision, which GPLv2 lacks. | 21:11 |
| paulproteus | The GPL insists that it is not compatible with any license that adds a restriction not already in the GPL. | 21:12 |
| Fn0rdDeflect | ah, I didn't know about that. | 21:15 |
| Fn0rdDeflect | I guess this didn't change with GPLv3 | 21:17 |
| *** oshani has quit IRC | 21:39 | |
| paulproteus | I haven't done a careful reading of the two licenses in a while, but in general that's the sort of thing to look for - other restrictions in the CC license that aren't in GPL. | 21:40 |
| Fn0rdDeflect | well, I've asked the author for permission now, this is certainly the easiest way to be sure that I'm allowed to redistribute the code. | 21:43 |
| paulproteus | Yeah. Sad that some guy used a CC license; we try to tell them not to. | 21:47 |
| Fn0rdDeflect | the commonly used free software licenses mostly don't require author attribution, I guess that's why he chose CC instead. | 21:52 |
| paulproteus | They do inside the source code, though. | 21:52 |
| paulproteus | You can possibly console him that way,. | 21:52 |
| Fn0rdDeflect | I run over the changes in GPLv3, section 7b) gives me permission to "Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal | 21:55 |
| Fn0rdDeflect | Notices displayed by works containing it" | 21:55 |
| Fn0rdDeflect | this seems to be a better way than just mentioning his name in the source | 21:56 |
