You have pointed out a potentially serious problem. Many anti-GPL people are trying to deceive software users into misappropriating GPL-licensed software, by telling them that the GPL is illegal, unenforceble, against public policy, etc. Later on, when the victims of this deception find that the GPL is actually being enforced, they may get into trouble. I'm not sure how actually serious this problem is. That would depend on how gullible software users are. Do they believe everything they read on Usenet? I suspect most of them are too smart to be fooled. -- Rahul http://rahul.rahul.net/ _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
