Technically he's right. You don't have to accept the GPL unless you intend to distribute the software. So IMHO, the word 'agreement' here is not entirely accurate. I don't think it's worthy of a 'serious' severity, but 'minor' or 'wishlist' likely fits the bill. Either way, it's (IMO again) a legitimate bug, so you shouldn't close it until it's resolved. --Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
