Re: [Tracker] Does tracker only accept GPL extrator plug-ins into upstream?

[Ivan Frade <ivan frade gmail com>]

hi,

 yes, your pluging (and dependencies) must be gpl/lgpl or compatible
license to be included in tracker source code (what you call
upstream).

 you can always release and maintain that extractor module in your own
project/repository and then you can chose more restrictive licenses
(with all the consideration we mentioned in other threads). it can be
installed as an independent package by dristributions.

 regards

ivan
