Without acceptance, an act of creating a derivative work (forget 17 USC 117 adaptations for a moment) is a copyright violation, distribution or no distribution. An author of a derivative work who accepts the GPL has copyright in a derivative work but is required to surrender a right to charge more than zero for derivative work. "Copyright and patent laws give authors a right to charge more" (stipulated prolific and learned Chief Judge Frank Easterbrook), retard. You've been plonked until next week, GNUtian Tobin. regards, alexander. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
