I just wrote and deleted a long diatribe. But then I realized you are specifically speaking of the GPL's language. I once wrote RMS specifically on this subject. Back then, he agreed that it was ambiguous. The language of the GPL has changed over the years; and you are right: the court would have to rule about the terms, quite specifically because it would be reasonable to quibble over what rights have or have not been granted. My long diatribe was on copyright law itself. Not pertinent. Motion to strike and all that. :-) C// -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
