There was a breach of the original contract (i.e. GPL version that governed your bash/glibc sources), so all bets are off. That is to say, one party has already broken the contract, so it can't expect the other party (FSF) to live by the terms of that same contract; If the grantee was never in breach of the original contract, FSF couldn't rescind the rights given to the grantee in the GPL. -Fariborz _______________________________________________ FarsiWeb mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/farsiweb
