YOu can have v2 and v3 programs in the same distro just like you can have v2 and other licensed programs in the same distro. It only becomes a problem when you're linking (and for most cases that is fine) or are otherwise a derived work. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
