Do you mean something like this?: 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. Certainly, the GPL in base-files applies to all of the GPLed software in the Debian distribution. We would have just to agree on the definition of the term "stand-alone". -- "185b228cb313ba9fb73823e9c52eeff9" (a truly random sig)
