Hi
I wrote a Amarok script called AmarokScreenSaver (http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=46488) (first named KoverSS) and released it under GPL.
The other day i googled my own name (Even Nedberg) and the first hit (http://www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=even+nedberg&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8) takes me to Background cover (http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=47931), another Amarok script heavily based on mine. This script is released under LGPL.
I don't have a problem with him using my code. But can he release under LGPL when my work is GPL?
I don't want this script to show up on a search for my name. How can I prevent this?
