Transcripts: http://www.ifso.ie/documents/gplv3-launch-2006-01-16.html ------ This would not be a presentation about the GPL by me if emphasis was not placed on what you see before you now. This license is "Not a Contract. You are not required to accept this License in order to receive a copy of the Program." We have not argued now, nor will we, nor can anyone argue, who reads the text of the language, that the receipt of the code is some quid-pro-quo for the acceptance of some terms. If you are existing in a legal system in which that wasn't what made it a contract, then ...go with God, but arguments based on the contractual exchange of the code for promises of compliance have nothing to do with us. We give permissions here and the enforcement weight of our license lies in the fact that you have no permission to propagate, that is, you have no permission to do what copyright law requires permission to do, but through this license. That's our legal theory and we are sticking to it. ------ Got it? ROFL. regards, alexander. _______________________________________________ Gnu-misc-discuss mailing list Gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
