Talk:GNU Modified General Public License

New name: License of GNU Ada
I am not quite happy with the new name. All Ada programmers know the Licence under the name of "Modified GPL" and the shortcut "MGPL". This is because - just like the Linux kernel - GNAT has a build in Licence check via the pragma License command.

So while your naming is prehaps politicly correct - it's what the user will type into the search box.

Also, not all of Ada is MGPL - i.E. packages derived from ISO 8652 are "unrestriced".


 * I'm totally agree, this license always has been refered to as Modified GPL (MGPL) or GNAT Modified GPL (GMGPL)  . This new name for the article, License of GNU Ada, is not appropiate. I propose to make this one a redirection to the old article name Modified GNU General Public License. We could even delete it, because Wikipedia isn't a search engine, although I'm more inclined to make it a redirect page (redirections are cheap, do not introduce much overhead to the servers). --suruena 10:00, 2005 Mar 12 (UTC)


 * There are zillions of other versions of the GPL modified by exceptions -- why shouldn't one of them be called the "Modified GPL"? What about "Ada Modified GPL"?  For now, changing it to something at least unambiguous if not super-common. -- Novalis 23:31, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
