Re: [linuxiran] Crossover Office Wanted!

[Arash Partow]

No one said they would, all i said was that they can take back
the code that was ~"initially CR'ed and then GPL'ed"~.
Obviously they can't take back what the community had provided
after the GPL date.

I'm pretty sure they can't get the GPL code back.
"Once GPL always GPL."
That's what Sun says on their web site.
