Says who? A license is something governing the transfer of a physical copy. If I don't have a license to distribute a received copy under the BSD (and the BSD license allows to pass on code without passing on the same distribution rights), then I can't just magically wish to have been granted the same rights as somebody else had been someplace else. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
