Tr : SVG to FXG XSL
Forwarding to the inkscape-devel list.
Hi all,
I'm not a license expert. Could anyone tell Judah if it's possible to dual license (GPL2/Apache) the SVG to FXG extension? Thanks. -- Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,
I came across your SVG to FXG stylesheet and I would like to use it for a project but I noticed the license is GNU GPL. From what I understand it may not be compatible with the Apache License I'm using for my software. To prevent any issues would you grant me a license to use your stylesheet under an Apache License? In any case I will be submitting any modifications of it back to open source.
Best Regards, Judah Frangipane
Hi Nicolas,
as long as you're the sole author you can add as many licenses as you want (in which case Judah is free to choose a license when re-using your code).
If you're not the sole/original author it's not possible as Apache is less restrictive then GPL (i.e. using Apache on that code would violate some parts of the GPL license). In that case you'd have to ask all contributors if they agreed to offer their code contribution under the new license.

Thanks.
It might be better to license it as GPLv2 or GPLv3, since I believe GPLv3 is compatible with Apache2.
