Symlinks are not a problem. The real problem are hardcoded references to "GPL" when they should have been references to GPL-2. For programs which are under "GPL v2 or later" or "GPL v3 or later" (most of them, if I'm not mistaken), the symlink is useful, so it should be kept. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
