hm, does the gpl require the distributor of a derived work to give licence to all applicable patents they own? i think that's a nice feature. the legal file requirement is potentially problematic (since it forces a particular name) but i don't think it makes a difference. btw, this licence looks an awful lot like another one we looked at a while ago, which one was it and what did we decide about that one? --phouchg "For a price I'd do about anything, except pull the trigger: for that I'd need a pretty good cause" -- Queensryche, "Revolution Calling" PGP 5.0 key (0xE024447449) at http://cif.rochester.edu/~jpt/pubkey.txt
