Heh try using linux kernal code in a software manual while properly following the GPL. Screenshots also don't look to pretty either. Remember under GPL 2.0 section 3 it can be argued that screenshots of a system running linux need to at least come with an offer to distribute the source code of the version of Linux being run (gets even more fun with multiple bits of software running). While GPL 2.0 doesn't suffer from having to credit too many people the copyright notices (aka back door invariant sections) and the requirement to preserve references to the GPL will tend to build up in much the same way. -- geni _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
