The right to distribute lawfully made copies (without authority of the copyright owner) is statutory. 17 USC 109. And license-not-a-contract fiction just can't interfere with that right. But anyway, if one needs to distribute multiple copies (no sources, draconian contractual terms that impose forbearance from the GPL via shrink-wrap or something), one can simply unrestrictedly download multiple copies (implied license to save bandwidth aside for a moment). I keep all my download logs in safe place. ;-) regards, alexander. _______________________________________________ Gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
