If I start out with a GPL program that is 1,000 lines long, and through
a series of patches, none of them copy

using either wlassistant or Knetworkmanager, the networks are well
recognized but I cannot log in. The connection is always refused.

Yes, I always tend to say that these corporations pay in cash

Hi Avraham,
I'd go for something more strict like:
