As you said, under "17 USC 109", the patch of the GPL software is not a copy or a derivative work of the GPL software, so, I can distribute the patch under whatever license I want, right? The patch should not be limited by the software license which I patched for, right?
Ask yourself the following, and all your questions will be answered: Does the patch work without the GPLed software? If it doesn't, then it is clearly a deriviate work. The opposite isn't true in all cases, and requires a more detailed explanation about the patch and how it interacts with the GPLed program. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
