Not specifically a FSF/Europe thing but some vaguley related question about how GPL actually works.
1) Does the GPL apply to the GPL, that is can you create a licence which is based upon GPL without violating the GPL ?
2) Can you licence some software under two licences for instance, could you write a program and offer it under both GPL and say the BSD licence ?
3) If a program is under GPL does that bar it from including non- GPL code ?
4) If you had for instance some graphics which you wanted to include with a software package which was under GPL, but didn't want to release the graphics under GPL is there anyway you could do it ?
In particular I was considering the following paragraph from the GPL,
"In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License."
Could this be used to include non-GPLed graphics in a GPLed program ?
