This is in reply to the various posts by Amnon Shlioh. he said a lot of things, most of which I can sum up in this sentence : "Yes, we violated the GPL - but we don't care because licenses can not be enforced in a court of law, because a court of law rules by laws, not by contracts."
This argument, of course, is completly bull, but the discussion is starting to be a bit political, so I will simply offer this argument : Consider a certain software product published in binary form under the EULA (you can take your pick - there are tons out there). now, the EULA explicitly forbids me from using said product on more then one computer at the same time (and some go even further then that - forbiding installation on more then one computer). now, accoring to the "Shiloh argument" I may freely install as many copies of the product on any computer that I own and use - even if I use more then one at the same time - and I will never be convicted of anything since I only violated the license agreement I agreed upon, and that is not a law. like I said - this is BS. if I do that and the BSA puts their filthy paws on me, I face fines upto 250,000 NIS and upto 5 years in prison (IIRC).

Once you can fake that you've got it made. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
