[Pkg-firebird-general] Re: Manuals gbak, gfix and gsec

[Remco Seesink]

Hello,

CC-GNU GPL Is fine. It has one drawback compared to dual licening with
IDPL:

It makes it impossible to copy text from the manual into the source
code. That would force firebird to the GPL. I am planning to do the
reverse for the qli tool since that tool is mostly selfdocumenting.

Thanks!

Remco.
