licensing mismatch

[wothke]

The last uncorrupted version of cisc's licensing info for his "fmgen" lib states: "商用ソフト(シェアウェア含む) に本ソースコードの一部，または 全部を組み込む際には，事前に作者の合意を得る必要があります．" (see FM Sound Generator with OPN/OPM interface Copyright (C) by cisc 1998, 2003.)

If "google translate" did not screw this up completely, then any use of the code for commercial purposes requires cisc's prior consent.

I don't think that any project that builds on this code can use GPL (unless cisc has also issued some additional GPL license that I am unaware of).

Unfortunately, I'm not 100% up on the history of the licensing here. This is forked from a repository created by another user, who licensed both this and the mdxmini components under the GPL. I kept the license under the assumption that any licensing problems had been dealt with, but I don't personally have any paper trail to prove that beyond the license itself.

Apart from me not liking GPL in general (because it usually ends with these kind of problems.. which are really pointless for just-for-fun projects) I was curious about the situation here primarilly since the readme text goes to such length about being careful not to combine the code with any non-GPL stuff..
Do you know the user that the project came from, i.e. could you ask him?
