Of what relevance is this? The GPL requires that a combined work containing GPLed code must be licensed as a whole under the GPL. This does not mean that the distributor of the work claims copyright over the pieces he does not own. It just means that the copyright holders of those pieces must give permission for them to be distributed this way. If they have given such permission, the combined work may be distributed under the GPL. If they have not, the combined work may not be distributed at all. Your mistake is to assume that a copyrighted work may be made part of a combined work and distributed that way without permission of the copyright holder if that holder has given permission to distribute standalone copies of the work. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
