So that allows the GPLv3, as well as many other licenses. I know; I read that before. I think that does not alloq GPLv3. Section 7 of GPLv3 allows some limited variation in the licenses of derivative works, so it does not fit the criterion. So I think we have a real problem here. Who runs the site?
