I was very surprised to read that. I just reread the GPL and could not find that condition. Could you please direct me to where it says so? As far as I understand, the GPL doesn't (and shouldn't) even require that packages have a Makefile at all. Indeed, I believe there are plenty of GPL'd software that use other build systems. And any requirement that software may not have bugs is of course unenforceable. Gerardo
