Is just separate computer program (literary) work (aka software). A seperate program which is not the "Contributor's original creation". Program code A + program code B modifies neither program code A nor program code B. But program A or B is not the "Contributor's original creation". E. "Larger Work" means computer software that combines Subject Software, or portions thereof, with software separate from the Subject Software that is not governed by the terms of this Agreement. Again, nothing to do with this. For example, you cannot take someone elses NOSA licensed work, and add it to a NOSA licensed work, since it is not the "Contributors original creation". Which is why is is a non-free license _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
