I can see how you might conclude that. However, when we get permission for a copyrighted work, we get permission for that copyright. If the work is updated, there is a new copyright and we have to obtain permission for that. In Him, DM On Jan 3, 2013, at 3:30 PM, Andrew Thule

Thanks for the clarification DM. Perhaps for the sake of clarity then, the .conf file's DistributionLicense= attribute could contain the version for which permission was granted (rather than appearing to be generic). ~A On Thu, Jan 3, 2013 at 3:35 PM, DM Smith dmsm...@crosswire.org wrote: I
