YES or NO ? The GNU GPL and LGPL do not allow one to add permissions. YES or NO ? The collection includes MUCH GPL'ed and LGPL'ed software. YES or NO ? I mentioned trademark is independent of copyright. YES or NO ? I provided one possible rewording that *probably* *could* help clear doubts. YES or NO ? In my view, YES, YES, YES, YES and YES. So I think that some thought leading to positive conclusions should be applied before knee-jerk reactions. YES or NO ? Rui ps: in my view, YES.
