Now we're going from semi-OT to OT :) "Creative Commons" != "Creative Commons" you need to be very specific what version and variant you mean. CC-BY-SA v3.0 can be combined with the GPL, but in general the Creative Common License is not compatible with the GPL. The final product of the remix is unlicensed. Neither GPL nor CC applies. The result cannot be distributed under either license. However, you can distribute individual files. eg. one icon under CC and once icon under GPL in the same package. Each of the works is properly licensed independently. An interesting aspect is that you mix them at runtime. As long as you don't distribute the result (but only display it) it should be fine. but IANAL. Anyway this has been discussed in the past at great length - both here: search the list-archive for "Legalities" or "CC", "GPL", the most recent installment of which is http://lists.linuxaudio.org/pipermail/linux-audio-dev/2013-June/034002.html as well as on countless places on the web. Just use your favorite search engine and continue at e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_FSF_approved_software_licenses https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html ciao, robin _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
