Hi. I normally don't read this list (so don't shout at me if I'm dumb ;) but as an affected maintainer I have read the interpretation of this licence and have a question.

Hmm, a question about this: Wouldn't make this the GPL DFSG-nonfree? It states "You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change." Or does this not imply that I have to give my name, too? Have I only to state the fact _that_ I changed the files? TIA, -- Frank Lichtenheld <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> www: http://www.djpig.de/
