Is there a problem with > this? Dual licensing _might_ be a problem because only the copyright holder can decide how to license the code. If the copyright assignment to the FSF has not already been made then I would suggest that Ricky delays copyright assignment until we have a firm plan of action. Ricky, could you clarify whether copyright in the UFFS sources has already been assigned to the FSF? Jifl, can you also advise here please? Could dual licensing of UFFS under both LGPL and the eCos Public License be achieved with a single source base using a single license banner? John Dallaway
