because the recipient has the same ability to modify the source that the author does, subject only to their differing abilities. Which is really what free software is about. It isn't about ability to modify in absolute terms, it is you've always had that, it is about having the same access (whether that is truely "easy" or not is irrelevent) as the author. luke > -- > Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
