You are not required to provide a transparent copy for small quantities. So the fact that the license allows you to provide a link to the transparent copy does not matter. You can still just provide a link to the transparent copy, and still fulfill the requirements of the license. Since the license does not require you to provide a transparent copy at all, providing a link is doing more work than what is required. -- Hubert Chan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - http://www.uhoreg.ca/ PGP/GnuPG key: 1024D/124B61FA Fingerprint: 96C5 012F 5F74 A5F7 1FF7 5291 AF29 C719 124B 61FA Key available at wwwkeys.pgp.net.
