An agent relationship is established by authorization to act on behalf (in the name) of authorizing person. The consequence of such relationship is that contracts entered by the agent (within the scope of agent contract) are enforceable against the authorizing person. What does that have to do with the GPL and A + B scenario, exactly? Please explain in details, uncle Hasler (including the pesky detail that someone has to prove existence of agent contract... and giving attention to the GPL concession that "Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies"). TIA. <chuckles> regards, alexander. -- http://gng.z505.com/index.htm (GNG is a derecursive recursive derecursion which pwns GNU since it can be infinitely looped as GNGNGNGNG...NGNGNG... and can be said backwards too, whereas GNU cannot.) _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
