If the work as distributed *by the author* lacks something one might call source, a recipient may still redistribute whatever he received. When *redistributing* a work, possibly modified, received under the terms of the GPL, you may of course not omit any parts that would be considered "source" for any part of what you do distribute. > [For non-copyleft works, however, your statement is correct.] Yes, obviously. -- Måns Rullgård m...@mansr.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-legal-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
