      @mlinksva I want my comic book to be edited only with free software and have sources always available, so I'll dual-license it GPL+CC-By-SA.

      @csolisr dual licensing doesn't work like that, is disjunctive. If you always want to require sources, use only GPL.

      @mlinksva If I use just SA people wouldn't release source, if I use just GPL I'd become SA-incompatible. Somehow I must use both at a time.

      @vlax everything said about BY-SA above is also true of FAL. It is another copyleft that does not require sharing source.

      @mlinksva You're a licensing genius. I had totally forgotten about the GPL with linking exceptions. I could do that with SA and the FAL/LAL.

      not to bring up a new thread, but yes, anyone can write a license. Not just anyone can write a license for someone else though.

      people make oral contracts all the time. An oral copyright license is enforceable. I'm not advocating for oral licensing, just saying: not hard to make a contract.

      well, oral contracts *are* hard to prove and there are certain things you can't do legally with a signature, though that is going to change state to state.

      getting exactly what you want is hard. Getting a contract is not. Generally speaking, if one provision goes, the whole thing doesn't fall with it.
