The GPL is not a "Schenkung" since there is no transfer of ownership. It is actually not true that it is "nur einseitig verpflichtend" since ownership implies duties. For example, if I make a "Schenkungsvertrag" over a bunch of toxic waste cans on public ground, it becomes the new owner's responsibility to move them away safely. If I make a Schenkungsvertrag over a horse, it becomes the new owner's responsibility to provide basic care and feeding or face animal protection laws. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
