Wary of confusion here. There is a license called the GNU Verbatim Copying License, see: <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#GNUVerbatim> Its text is: "Verbatim copying and distribution of this entire article are permitted worldwide, without royalty, in any medium, provided this notice is preserved." The notice you are pointing to in your footnotes is: "Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed." -john -- John Sullivan | Executive Director, Free Software Foundation GPG Key: A462 6CBA FF37 6039 D2D7 5544 97BA 9CE7 61A0 963B https://status.fsf.org/johns | https://fsf.org/blogs/RSS Do you use free software?
