Are we reading different versions of the license? The one I'm looking at (/usr/share/emacs/20.7/etc/COPYING from woody's emacs20 package) does not mention the word "source" in its section 2 at all. #1 explicitly applies only to "the Program's source code", but #2 speaks generally about "the Program", source code or not. -- Henning Makholm "Al lykken er i ét ord: Overvægtig!"
