Since Jon is a representative of a commercial company,
which is presumably "closed source" as far as his
enhancements are concerned, I was wondering what the GPL
means for his application.

For instance, I submitted a bunch of model bug fixes
to ng-spice recently.

Can Jon use those in his own version of spice, without
making his version open source ?

If he can't, can he come to an agreement with me, since
they were originally my fixes, or have I lost the right
to allow someone to use those fixes in proprietary code ?

Cheers,

Alan
