Re: [Vala] Vala and GLib license

[Aleksandr Palamar <void995 gmail com>]

But If I would need to patch GLib to work on PS4 or XBONE? I doubt that
those platforms will allow me to share usage of their internal API. Can I
keep those patch closed and share them only with people who has licenses
for PS4 and XONE (you aren't able to put that patch in anyway if you are
just standard customer and user of the console and not the developer) so
they would able to use that new code as well, but not with others, because
that may violate license of console platforms.
