You can release every package *you*write using the GPL.<br>
<br>
But you'll have licence compatibility issues because the majority of <br>
Modula 3 code is not covered by the GPL unless you also release it <br>
under a license compatible with the one that most of the Modula 3 <br>
stuff is licenced under.<br>
<br>
There's nothing difficult about having two licences. It just means <br>
there are two possible conditions under which someone can use and copy <br>
them. Its enough for either to apply, and it gets out of bothersome <br>
licence compatbility restrictions.<br>
