@GeneralNutt,
Quote - I have a question, if the WW Antonia becomes 1.2.0 or that type of thing, say the some in the community perfers the WD Antonia does that mean that WD can only be updated to 1.1.9? Or am I missing the point and only odf can create a Antonia versions so this is a ill informed question? I'm trying to think about linux and how that would work, seeing I don't think I've ever seen figure licence like this.
You have hit on one of the main reasons I raised this issue in the first place. I think we need a way to distinguish between an update of Antonia-1 and an update of Antonia-WW. Even if the classic Antonia becomes a Neanderthal, doomed to eventual extinction, out competed by the newer Antonia-WW, it would still be nice to to be able to distinguish which branch of the tree we were talking about, without having to write several paragraphs of explanation.
However, I take odf's point that there is nothing to stop me releasing an updated version of Antonia-1 under a new name, say "Antonia-WD" or "Antoinette". It just seemed more logical to my mind to make the name change (or at least a major version number change) in the same place where a major change took place in the figure itself.
But I can live with Antonia-1.2.0.
