They are a similar problem to invariant sections (can prevent distribution in some cases) but of a smaller scale and scope. I struggled to understand this aspect until the pickle-passing example: http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2003/07/msg00104.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2003/07/msg00163.html which I summarised in http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2004/03/msg00098.html Hope that helps, -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only: see http://people.debian.org/~mjr/ Please follow http://www.uk.debian.org/MailingLists/#codeofconduct -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
