Never mind that Alessandro's and my examples specifically involved the change *not* being incorporated into the original project. Nothing stops anyone from incoperating the changes into a project which isn't the original one. > Let's say I write a shoot-em-up game, where you're shooting > aliens (similar to, say, Doom).

You know perfectly well what I was refering to, and simply resort to stupid comments like these, again and again. If you remove a file, and replace it with a new file you have a change, if you take the original file, and change the colours in it, you have a modified version of the same file. It is clear that you are only interested in causing a flame war. _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list [email protected] https://mail.fsfeurope.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion
