So what? It is not uncommon that a book has one author and millions of readers. That does not mean that we can optimize the outnumbered author in the process of a book's life. The conditions of the GPL are there for the sake of the few people who can actually make a difference. The rest is not affected except for not being allowed to take away that usability. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
