Wow, treading on legal territory that I admit is still a bit fuzzy, and I am of course not a lawyer, but I'm not sure you are able to force those licence requirements.  The original is GPL, and thus any derivatives are as well.  So, anyone looking at the code could choose to accept it under terms of the GPL and feel free to modify it. Now, I have absolutely no problem with you as maintainer of the applet wanting all changes run by you first.  That is very in-line with how the Linux kernel works.  However, I'm not sure we yet have a clear list of who actively maintains applets.  Until that exists, how do potential contributers know who to contact?  The original author, the last modifier, the lastest person to check a change into SVN? Just some thoughts... <div>On 2/24/06, Vladimir N.

My licenses more free by GPL. Only one condition: before something to correct it would be necessary to ask the person who supports this work. Otherwise you will remain with what. --w vodz _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list <a href="mailto:busybox@busybox.net">busybox@busybox.net</a> <a href="http://busybox.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/busybox"> http://busybox.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/busybox</a> </blockquote></div>
