Yes, firstly because it does not make the software free any more (not just free in price but also free in modification, etc) and secondly LPPL never discourage you from modifying the software. On Sun, Oct 23, 2011 at 8:53 PM, Philip TAYLOR (Webmaster, Ret'd) < p.tay...@rhul.ac.uk> wrote: > > > Va

I can not comment on the difference between "discouraged" and "prohibited" since I am Persian not British but certainly if I am "discouraged from modifying a package", I feel that "I am prohibited from modifying that package". On Sun, Oct 23, 2011 at 9:36 PM, Philip TAYLOR (Webmaster, Ret'd) < p.
