Open source, closed source, and the value of code

[Robert Mann]

RE : issue of including copyrighted media into a stack.

<< The creators of the 
works retain copyright even as they offer specific rights with regard to 
distribution to others. 

No distribution license is a transfer of copyright.  Not in film, not in 
software. >>

So.. did my homework again, here come the details :

If livecode's wants that all stacks and content made with the Community
version be fully GPL3 compatible,
all media used in a stack must be under a CC BY-SA 4.0 type license, which
is directly compatible with GPLv3.

In my case, media would only be in NC (non commercial copyleft) thus, not
GPL3 compatible.
And worse, some audio work would even not be in CC but under "SACEM" rules
which is rather restricted and some other work under standard copyright not
CC. So definitively not GPL3 compatible.

So i'll just ask the boss I think. But interesting for all to know what can
be done and what cannot be done with the community version.
