Yes. So, what is the interpretation being seriously put forth? That we should allow licenses which restrict parts of a program to being off-limits? ("You may change gnugo in any way you like, except that you may not make any changes which weaken its playing strength."?) ("You may change exim any way you like, except that you must not cause it have any spam-filtering features not already present"?) ("You may change Gnu Emacs any way you like, as long as you don't change the default keybindings"?) We would not accept any of these. So what *is* the interpretation, under which the modification prohibitions of the GFDL are ok, and which similar modifications of programs are not?
