Sort of. The licence has to contain some restrictions, so what restrictions are reasonable? Well, for simple things that many people do, such as emailing a copy to their friend, any restriction that is as burdensome as sending an email would amount to doubling the difficulty of doing that. For acts that involve commerce and organisations, it's ok to add more restrictions because asking that they write a short script to generate lists of encrypted keys is a drop in the ocean. -- Ciarán O'Riordan __________________ \ http://fsfeurope.org/projects/gplv3 http://ciaran.compsoc.com/ _________ \ GPLv3 and other work supported by http://fsfe.org/fellows/ciaran/weblog \ Fellowship: http://www.fsfe.org _______________________________________________ Fsfe-uk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fsfe-uk
