Man oh man. You're being so confused, Hyman. http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html "Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed." Go and tell all those Guh-NÜ-slash-Linux distributors that according to you, they are lacking permission to copy and distribute the GPL as part of their distributions (i.e. compilations/collective works). And then go to doctor, silly. regards, alexander. -- http://gng.z505.com/index.htm (GNG is a derecursive recursive derecursion which pwns GNU since it can be infinitely looped as GNGNGNGNG...NGNGNG... and can be said backwards too, whereas GNU cannot.) _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
