Man oh man. Profit = buyer's cost to obtain - seller's cost to create. Okay? Now we take the case with distribution of new (we are now going to create) derivative work of something under the GPL: buyer's cost to obtain = 0 (per GPL "no charge" provision) seller's cost to create = programmer's salary, energy, etc. So where is a profit, dak? regards, alexander. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
