Hello, Are discussions on the GPL allowed? :-) I'd like to ask, when A writes a program and distributes it under theGPL, and B modifies it : 1. Is B allowed to remove all traces of A's name? Is B supposed to retain A's name somewhere? For example if I were to take RedHat Linux, make some modifications, and distribute my own version, can I remove all instances of "RedHat" ? 2. If I am allowed to, to what extent?
This is not a GPL topic: The copyright notice (thus author names) are normally covered by copyright law. IANAL, but I think you cannot modify the credits (or better, you cannot remove credits), indipendent of licenses! ciao giacomo -- license-discuss archive is at http://crynwr.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3
