If the 2nd bolded phrase were completely identical to the 1st bolded phrase, it would be redundant and useless. Andreas Haugstrup wrote: Legal licenses are written in legal vernacular. Since neither of us are lawyers we get to use the human-readable description to guide us to the right interpretation of "same". It reads: "If you alter, transform, or build upon this work, you may distribute the resulting work only under a license identical to this one." Identical is equal to equal :o) - Andreas On Wed, 24 May 2006 23:40:06 +0200, Charles HOPE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: It didn't say "equal to" though. It said "contains the same". In vernacular English it can go either way. Do you have a picture of Lindsay Lohan and one of Keira Knightly on your website? Cool, my site contains the same ones. (But I also have a picture of a decapitated elephant.) And my new, improved license contains all the same elements as the two old ones.

It must contain the same elements. It doesn't prohibit it from containing a few more as well! I don't know where you took your math classes, but around here there's a big difference between "equal to" and "equal to or more". :o) SPONSORED LINKS Fireant Individual Typepad Use Explains YAHOO!
