It means absolutely nothing, however, as the true test is how the judicial system interprets it. In my interpretation, the license gives permission to do certain things to the code but does NOT provide rights to the name. In fact, the spirit of the license as we've stated it in the past is that "you can do whatever with this as long as you don't try to pass it off as yours." Releasing something under the same name could easily be interpreted as doing just that. Michael -- Michael Jennings (a.k.a.
