Actually, I think that the DFSG already lists the license text as the only unmodifiable part in the binary: "The license must allow modifications and derived works, and must allow them to be distributed under the same terms as the license of the original software." Note that a DFSG-free package may require that it may only be changed if the changed package is distributed under the same license. Thus, in this situation you can change everything else except the license. > Just the opposite -- I wish we had more unambiguous DFSG.

I'm beginning to wonder if it might be worth it to have a GR proposal to the effect: Change the third clause of DFSG as follows: "The license must allow any modifications (excluding modifying the license text) and derived works, and must allow them to be distributed under the same terms as the license of the original software." -- * Sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology (T.P) * * PGP public key available @ http://www.iki.fi/killer * -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
