This would hold even if the license on the GPL document permitted any kind of modification. Those modifications would not change the license terms under which the package was received. The discussion is regarding the distribution, in Debian, of works -- the license texts -- under terms that do not meet the DFSG. The guidelines don't require that license *terms* be mutable by the recipient, but they do require that the *work* be modifiable and re-distributable by the Debian project and any recipients of Debian. -- \ "To label any subject unsuitable for comedy is to admit | `\ defeat." -- Peter Sellers | _o__) | Ben Finney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
