I have evidence to the contrary, based on my discussion with FSF's GPL compliance officer last year. The FSF does not consider your interpretation to be correct. Debian-legal has already rejected your interpretations two times in a row. They don't hold up to peer review. It's been discussed in depth more than a few times where all the errors are in your interpretations, by several developers. There is no need for others to go over your problems understanding the GPL again and again, as you know where the debian-legal archives are if you want to reread the discussions. cheers, dalibor topic
