At least in german law you *never* loose your copyright. You can transfer the right of commercial exploitation but unlike anglo-saxton law you can't sell the copyright itself.
Only the GPL is based on copyleft, there are lots of other OSS licenses that retain the copyright. See the BSD license for a prominent example.
But GPL is exactly what cdrtools was licensed under at the time it was forked. That's the whole point of it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
