But the requirement for a copyright notice on the homepage is a consequence of the GPL's interactive-session clause and the interpretation that a web session is a single execution of a program. If that interpretation is reasonable, DFSG 10 establishes a requirement for an initial copyright notice as unambiguously free. -Brian
