<div dir="ltr">This discussion addresses the use after the one year of the TGPPL. Could somebody confirm if this is true:<br><br>The period before the one year you can do anything with it, including releasing complete closed source executables without source code that requires that you eat horse meat while you use it. Just, after that one year, everything becomes GPL. If your legal department is okay with a 1 year head start on the competition, then you are also good to go.<br>

Law is essentially a different language. Lawyers from places in the English<br>
legal tradition (including here in the US) do not speak English. They speak<br>
this other "law" language where words mean what judges say they mean.<br>
<br>
This is why we have weirdness like "in camera" meaning "behind closed doors<br>
/ out of sight". And the guy who climbed in my unlocked window the other<br>
year when I was at work was charged with law:"breaking and entering" even<br>
though he didn't english:break anything.<br>
<br>
Seriously, when licenses get this complicated the real answer to most<br>
questions is "ask a lawyer". Really.<br>
