The funny thing is that this report is actually arguing *against* a first sale doctrine for digital objects, but as we have seen in the Adobe case, the courts have found otherwise. >> You cannot, however, download a set of Debian ISOs, >> burn them to CDs, and sell the binary ones seperately >> since you did not purchase those CDs but made them >> yourself, thus accepting the terms of the GPL. > > Oh really? Keep dreaming, ancle Hasler. Nope, he's right, you're wrong. The GPL does not permit you to make copies for conveying to another, except that you may do so if you convey them under the terms of the GPL. A court isn't going to let you make copies and use first sale to sell them any more than it would let you sell videotapes that you've recorded of over-the-air broadcasts. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
