That's an idea, but its implementation is totally busted (outside the GNU Republic). Oh dear. Once again: I've got a CD full of GPL'd binaries (and no source code on it at all) which I'm going to distribute to you under contractual agreement imposing forbearance from exercising the rights granted to you under the GPL by the copyright owners. 17 USC 109, aka "first sale" (also known as doctrine of copyright exhaustion in Europe), dear. It's just amazing how many folks are being brainwashed by the FSF. The GPL gives "freedom" as in the GNU Republic where software belongs to state (and hence it is regulated by state permits akin to lottery or gun dealership which are neither contracts nor property rights), and both 17 USC 109 and 17 USC 117 are simply nonexistent. regards, alexander. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
