This is false. The GPL requires that we distribute source to some parts of Debian on "a medium customarily used for software interchange". It definitely does not prohibit us from also distributing it on other things. The (intended) GFDL, on the other hand, explicitly prohibits us from distributing on certain things. (I already said this once; one is an inclusion, and the other is an exclusion). -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Andrew Suffield : :' : http://www.debian.org/ | `. `' | `- -><- |
