Therein is another legal quandary. The GPL at http://www.opensource.org/licenses/gpl-license.php says that you are allowed to copy and redistribute the GPL text verbatim, but no modifications are allowed. Therefore omitting paragraph nine would not be allowed. So much for freedom. :) -- Joseph Tate Personal e-mail: jtate AT dragonstrider DOT com Web: http://www.dragonstrider.com -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/
