No, it's utterly true. The obligations of the GPL are between the copyright holder and the distributor. The distributees acquire rights when the distributor tells them that the distribution is covered by the GPL, because he has then promised them certain things. (There's your promissory estoppel!) But if someone were to distribute GPLed code without informing distributees of the license, they themselves would have no recourse for obtaining the source code. Only the rights holder could go after the distributor, for copyright violation. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
