Hi all, Couple of days ago I've released a modified version of the last GPLd version of Notepad2 which was in 2004. My modifications were: - The installation and the shell integration - Refining and formatting the web documentation and associating it with the application. - Replacing graphic items (icons/toolbars) - Some little modifications in the executable program itself. I've called My work "Notepad3", and I've wrote the following in the "About" dialog:
----------- Notepad3 1.0 (c) [myname] [year] [myEmailAddress] [myWebsite] Notepad2 1.0.12 (c) Florian Balmar [year] [herEmailAddress] [herWebsite] GPL 2.0 Notice ----------- My question is: Am I broking GPL 2.0? Do I do anything wrong ligally or ethically? This question will lead to several questions: What's software? Code/compiled code? or Code + Documentation + Installation If the first: Do little modifications made for specific software deserves a copyright notice? If the second: Does the (About) dialog represent the executable program or the product as a whole: executable + documentation + installation Best regards, - Anas R. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
