Thank you.

I didn't insist because I didn't want to bother you/Fedora in the eve
of version 9.

The dual license situation is as follow: as the Committee President
(and lead developer), I certify that we the Comittee agreed on the
fact that GPLv2 license are compatible with the aims of our project.

Just, we want to grant some further degree of freedom for commercial
applications, that may prefer to apply FPLL rather than GPLv2.

So, we acknowledge this fact and we grant anyone the right to
distribute The Falcon Programming Language or any other software
issued by our project under the terms of GPLv2.

I.e. you may substitute the LICENSE file with the following notice:

===============
 
    Copyright 2004-2008, Giancarlo Niccolai et. al (See the AUTHORS file)

    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
    it under the terms of either:

    a) the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software
       Foundation; either version 2, or (at your option) any later
       version, or

   b) the Falcon Programming Language License version 1.1
    (available at http://www.falconpl.org/?page_id=license_1_1
    <or include the license verbatim in a file>).

================

And you can add GPL verbatim or a link to it.

The situation is as follows: version 1.1 of the license (fedora-legal
has 1.0) seems to be fine with debian-legal, and my legals have
analized it and approved it, but we're dual licensing our project with
GPL to remove any possible doubt about our project not being free
software. We'll file FPLL for OSI certification and eventually (but
not necessarily) stop dual licensing once certified that FPLL grants
the same freedom as GPL, and more, by OSI. We ourselves didn't
re-release Falcon 0.8.8 under dual licensing just because of lack of
time, and because our 0.8.10 version is being readied in this days. We
gladfully grant anyone the right to do so if he wish.

Bests,
Giancarlo Niccolai.
