if we don't care about collecting statutory damages for files like gunzip
Yeah, yeah, I know, I know. I didn't quote the rest of Aaron's message where he addresses that. I should have known better than to actually try to simplify anything. I give up. criminal penalties for fraudulent copyright notices. The whole point, as I understand it, is that it's *not fraudulent*. Why else would that paragraph be in maintain.texi? But anyway, since you view this as a stopper, I guess I now have to raise it with SFLC. Sigh, sigh, sigh. Perhaps the issues of criminal penalties and repositories could help us change rms's mind at some point? What do you want to propose? I'm afraid that I have no idea what you want at this point ... We really are wasting a lot of time here. Yes, we certainly are. Every change leads to more questions and counter-arguments, and I see no end in sight. Yours in discouragement, karl
