It is not clear to me that GPL and BY-SA differ in scope with respect to copyright and similar rights in any way that can be stated definitively. If someone applied BY-SA to a work in which only semiconductor mask rights subsisted, or GPL to a work in which only sui generis database rights subsisted, people might debate whether anything has been licensed in either case, but would anyone be willing to make a definitive statement that could be relied upon, especially across all jurisdictions? Nevermind problem of getting a definitive statement about when only one of these rights and no other copyright or copyright-like rights subsist. In any case whether this difference is phantasmal or merely slippery it ought not be an obstacle to compatibility.
That ship sailed with CC0 being included in https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html#GPLCompatibleLicenses Mike p.s. I endorse everything Francesco Poli and Arne Babenhauserheide have written in previous BY-SA/GPL compatibility threads. I really appreciate the persistence of each of you. :) |
