It's separate software from the Subject Software. Section G does not speak of `Subject Software'. | G. Each Contributor represents that that its Modification is | believed to be Contributor's original creation and does not | violate any existing agreements, regulations, statutes or rules, | and further that Contributor has sufficient rights to grant the | rights conveyed by this Agreement. > Program code A + program code B modifies neither program code > A nor program code B. > > But program A or B is not the "Contributor's original creation". And? ... see section G. One can only make a modification if it is the "Contributor's original creation". _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
