That's a problem, then. > (The copyright file isn't really for end users, since you > shouldn't have to accept free licenses to use free software.) Eh? What does simple notification have to do with acceptance ceremonies? I'm going to have to differ with you here. The copyright file is for everyone. That we make it available in plain-text, uncompressed form rather than in spinning, throbbing OpenGL-rendered 3D text over a thumping dance music soundtrack is a feature, not a bug. > The real intent of that wording seems to be eg. manuals.
