[pok-devel] Licence of POK

[ Thread Index | Date Index | More lists.tuxfamily.org/pok-devel Archives ]


Dear,

I'm writing this mail to ask you about the licence of POK.
Is it legally to copy a file or a part of file to another project?

First, I think it is possible because of the file LICENCE used in the project :

But, at the beginning of each file, it mentioned this :

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* The following file is a part of the POK project. Any modification should
* made according to the POK licence. You CANNOT use this file or a part of
* this file is this part of a file for your own project
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You CANNOT use this file or a part of this file is this part of a file for your own project" isn't clear and tends to mean that we don't have the right to use it in other project.

Can you inform me about this?

Thank you for your attention and your help.
Sincerely,

Omar ZENATI
