In my opinion, the answer to this question is No: Unless the copyright holder assigns the FSF the right to sue on behalf of them, a 3rd party shouldn't have the right to exercise someone else's rights. If I write some closed-source software, and I license it to Joe Schmoe, and then Joe pirates it all over the world, a violation of the license terms that I granted him... Why should the FSF or anybody else be entitled to sue Joe and make money off my work? _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
