You don't understand, Hyman. The idea is that by doing a few modifying and copyrightable changes into a "single program" in response to the GPL offer one becomes a joint copyright owner of the entire work "as a whole" and can rightfully license that entire work (with 'as a whole' as 'defined' and intended by the GPL) in disrespect of the GPL. It's jujitsu against jujitsu, if you like. Copyleft against copyright? The copyright can fire back in jujitsu mode much better!
Got it now, Hyman? regards, alexander. P.S. "It is just like a suit to enforce a copyright license, which arises under state law rather than under the Copyright Act. " Hyman's lovin' http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Gaiman_v._McFarlane P.P.S. "the registered work is a compilation" Hyman's lovin' http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Gaiman_v._McFarlane -- 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
