My dearest Alexander, you are thoroughly confused. The GPL is a copyright license, and as such is concerned with your rights to the _contents_, not the media. The act of obtaining a _physical_ copy is a separate business from licensing. The licensor will usually have customer rights that will, after he pays a software vendor (who may or may not be the same as the copyright holder), have the right to obtain an intact physical medium with the content that has been part of the offer he has paid for. But that is not a contractual obligation in connection with the GPL. It is a normal business obligation for tangible goods. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
