That's not perfectly true. The GPL has quite a lot to say about the responsibilities of someone distributing binaries. > it is unnecessary to ask > the user to Accept the GPL during the installation. That's very true. There's nothing for the user to accept, no obligation imposed by merely installing the software. IMO the tawdry business of "accepting" licenses at installation time is best left to proprietary systems as they continue to slink to ash heap of history. It's certainly not something free software should emulate. The installer should install, and let the fun begin. --jkl _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia/faq.html Main page at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia
