</I>><i>
</I>><i> phpbb-seo developers show that they don't mean to embarrass people

</I>><i> to avoid commercial/unfair reuse/redistribution of their code. But
</I>><i> that in turn doesn't change the fact that the license is incompatible

</I>><i>
</I>><i> So among other possible solutions would be:
</I>><i> * using both, and going further with the fact that we have a code
</I>><i> repository that is not redistributable at all, since it's a mix of
</I>><i> things whose licenses prevent it to contractually exist (although it
</I>><i> can, that's the fun thing with chimera);
</I>><i> * not using phpbb-seo as long as the license is not clearly
</I>><i> compatible with GPL (and develop or not our own solution for that).
</I>><i>
</I>><i> There may be other clean solutions, but not sure about that.
