[task #16584] Submission of StoneValley

[John Cage]

Follow-up Comment #54, task #16584 (group administration):


> First, line 5 says, "StoneValley is free software"; in other words, it
speaks for the whole package; second, when I say that licensing conditions
should be declared in a consistent way, I mean that the wording should be
exactly the same in all cases.  Shortcuts like 'GPLv3+' are only appropriate
when speaking informally.

Okay, I will delete line 25 and 26 of file README and re-upload tarball file,
please evaluate it.


> The right answer is, two licenses are compatible when they allow combining
works released under each of them into one larger work,
https://www.gnu.org/gpl-faq.html#WhatIsCompatible

Thank you for teaching me this!


> No, they are not.  In fact, even different versions of the GPL are
incompatible, this is why the "or later" provision is needed,
> https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#AllCompatibility

> The only exception is the LGPLv2: it includes a permission for relicensing
under GPLv2 or any later version of the GPL.

> When some works are used in manuals, but may be useful as parts of new
programs, the GNU Project releases them both under the GPL and the GFDL,
>

I see. Thank you for your explanation!


> Is it used as a part of program of as a part of a note about the package?

The svlogo.png is not used as a part of program, but it can be a part of note
of StoneValley package.
