You don't have to convince me - in my home jurisdiction it is beyond dispute that application of the GPL would be a matter for our contract law, and I won't aspire to claim anything about how it works in a common-law system. But the heat of the debate nevertheless leaves me wondering what it's for. Does it make any difference, and if so, what? -- Henning Makholm "Larry wants to replicate all the time ... ah, no, all I meant was that he likes to have a bang everywhere." -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
