Hi Masi,

I just forgot from the other thread this link:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#AllCompatibility

So, we might create an error, if some package is under a license, which 
is for sure not compatible with the FLOW3 license.

e.g. Releasing a package under "GPLv2 only" using FLOW3 is not possible.


Cheers,
