Nonsense. He can be _held_ to the terms of the license if he does so. You would not need to sue for compliance if acceptance happened automatically.
Section 5: | Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any | work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of | this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for | copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based | on it. Acceptance doesn't happen automatically, it happens when you modify or distribute the program. If he doesn't accept the license, he is breaking the law. Simple. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
