Hmmm... I still didn't buy this argument... But it has been argued that it is not the intent of this license clause and that, because of that, it would not be enforceable, as, even the text not saying that, some other references around are sufficient to disable this type of enforcement of the license. I don't know where are these references (probably RMS comments), but, as we agree it is a bug in the license, it's quite possible that such text exists (there is a message from RMS saying he never thought this could be applied with GFDL terms). I'm not sure this is acceptable, but: 1) This proposal recognizes that the referred application of such restriction is, indeed, non-free. 2) but also says this application is not what the license wants to say and is not enforceable because of that (using other references to clarify that). The same thing could be applied to the transparent copies problem... As I said before, I still didn't buy this argument, but I have to admit it has some logic... daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
