Follow-up Comment #6:

Hello.

Our licensing page (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html) says about
the MPL:
"This is a free software license which is not a strong copyleft; unlike the
X11 license, it has some complex restrictions that make it incompatible with
the GNU GPL. That is, a module covered by the GPL and a module covered by the
MPL cannot legally be linked together. We urge you not to use the MPL for this
reason.

However, MPL 1.1 has a provision (section 13) that allows a program (or parts
of it) to offer a choice of another license as well. If part of a program
allows the GNU GPL as an alternate choice, or any other GPL-compatible
license as an alternate choice, that part of the program has a GPL-compatible
license."

So the problem is the choice in section 13. If the author of JEDI-SDL does
not offer this choice of another license, it's GPL incompatible.


We close this submission.
If you ever get independent of GPL incompatible parts, feel free to
re-register your project.

Regards,
