So for instance, you'd have nothing against a license that only allowed "fixing" typos in a program along these lines: --- helloworld.c.old 2005-01-05 10:44:53 +0200 +++ helloworld.c 2005-01-05 10:45:14 +0200 @@ -3,6 +3,7 @@ int main(void) { printf("Hello Wolrd\n"); + printf("Hello World\n"); return 0; } Because that's the only kind of "modification by patch" that the GFDL allows for.
