Do you actually read what you are replying to? We are talking about copyleft. Only the first GPL licensor has a choice of license, and since he rarely wrote the license himself, it is unlikely that even his understanding coincides completely with that of Stallman/Moglen (and I would not ransom my horse on even those two agreeing in every aspect). -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
