Licencia de AOLServer

Hay éste párrafo que indica que se disribuye bajo la AOLserver Public License.

En su web he encontrado esto.

Incluye la definición de la Mozilla Public License, así que puede ser que la AOLserver sea igual a la Mozilla.

La Mozilla Public License es incompatible con la GPL. (Licencia GPL).

De todos modos, la AOLserver Public License permite utilizar la GPL:

Alternatively, the contents of this file may be used under the terms
of the GNU General Public License (the "GPL"), in which case the
provisions of GPL are applicable instead of those above.  If you wish
to allow use of your version of this file only under the terms of the
GPL and not to allow others to use your version of this file under 
the
License, indicate your decision by deleting the provisions above and
replace them with the notice and other provisions required by the 
GPL.
If you do not delete the provisions above, a recipient may use your
version of this file under either the License or the GPL.

La verdad es que ésto de las licencias es un poco lío.

Licencia de Linux

El software que contiene el OS Linux tiene un montón de licencias distintas, casi todas GPL-compatibles: GPL, BSD, X11, Mozilla, Artistic y qué se yo más.
