ROFL. The words recipient, permission, freedom, and user are different and they are all used when we discuss software licensing and related topics. There is no "switch" that is occurring. The words permission and recipient are used throughout the GNU GPL versions 2 and 3, including in the preamble. They are also used on license-list.html to describe software licenses, although it is true they are used less frequently. -- Joshua Gay Licensing & Compliance Manager <http://www.fsf.org/licensing> Free Software Foundation <https://donate.fsf.org> GPG key ID: 8DA625BB What's a GPG key ID?
