How am I supposed to answer to this <<If you developed software derived
from an open source one, then you can copyright the derived software and
distribute it under a proprietary style licenses.>> ?
The correct answer is neither "yes" nor "no", but "it depends on the
license", since BSD-style licenses usually permits this, while GPL ones
do not (LGPL being the exception).
