Huh? That's not a definition, especially since all this debate is about whether our previous formal requirements where different to our current ones. I think there is no difference in the requirements before 2004-003 and after it. Thus, this "definition" is just circular for me: "all programs must meet the DFSG", "A program is what we require to meet the DFSG"... Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster, Biozentrum der Univ. Basel Abt.
