The source code means all the code for the program, everything, laid bare. That's because that's the form "most suited for modification", as spelled out in the license. A PNG image is modifiable, by the way. It's not a "read-only" format (I don't believe there IS a "read-only" image format). A lot of image editors can open PNG. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
