well, we can't discuss if you repetedly challenge the other intelligence.
we may have problems to understand each others, but this licencing
problem is not that easy, that's why I keep dicussing.
the problem is that GPL ask derivative works to have the very same
licence.
This have sense. This is the main interest of GPL!
so what will be the licence of the derivative work?
If you have dual licencing, you allow people to choose what ever he
want for the derivative work, you don't ask him to keep the dual
licencing, so this licence style don't stay in the derivative work
usually an author choose a licence to allow freedom, but only limited
freedom dual licencing give more freedom than any of the two.
simultaneous licencing is not possible (you can't satisfy both
inheritence condition)
