Clause 3 means that if you ship an executable or object code form of a work, you do not need to ship the compiler and kernel source unless you are including the compiler or kernel with the executable. Debian would not be shipping an executable or object code form of a script, since the script _is_ source, therefore distribution would fall under clause 2, which has no such problems. I could see this being a problem with a non-free language with something like the perl compiler or Emacs byte-compiler, if we only shipped compiled versions, but it isn't a problem here. -- Alan Shutko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - In a variety of flavors!
