Actually, the latest patch is what I don't want reused. And no, you don't put it in the LGPL until it is committed, which I don't expect AJ to do anyway.

However, I'm moving in a different direction since my Mac needs more repairs than I'm willing to spend money on.

Besides, I've been a big enough pain that my existence here is unwarranted and unneeded.

As anyone who attended the last WineConf probably already knows, you have my complete sympathies in that regard. I also doubt very much anyone would use your uncommitted patches against your will, so in that respect, you probably have nothing to worry about.

That said, I believe your claim to the right to demand no use is wrong. It is my understanding that by submitting your patches to wine-patches, you have placed them under the LGPL, which is a non-revocable license. Again, in all likely hood, this is a purely hypothetical question.

If the LGPL is non-revocable, is code you've placed under it still re-licensable, by you, under another license, as long as you don't revoke the LGPL in the process?

ie. could I submit a piece of code to Wine and to another project?
