Hello Claudius I am not convinced that the notice is harmless. At any rate, since the GS code is released as GPL, I am well within my rights to alter it as I suggested. (But, IANAL.)

You will find that what I said is a standard procedure in dealing with issues like these. It is not copyright infringement -- removing the copyright notice from the produced PS code will be copyright infringement, however. Check what John Gilmore did, for example: http://www.toad.com/gnu/sysadmin/index.html#firefox-eula-sux [QUOTE:] Now here's the free-as-in-freedom bit: Firefox is free software and you are free to modify it, either before or after you install it. I chose to modify it before I installed it. I modified it by removing the EULA. So there is no EULA, no agreement between me and the Mozilla Corporation, no contract. Just the free software. Thank you for the free software. It would be easier to modify the source, and I'm happy to come up with a source patch for the Mozilla team (or any distro) if they'll install it. But it was more expedient to modify the binary: it was sitting in front of me, and it turned out to be easy. … -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
