Forget the GPL nonsense. The modified version of a program "as a whole" with elements taken from public just can't be put under any copyright license because public domain can't be copyright licensed by definition. You may copyright license your creative *modifications* but not the modified version of the program "as a whole". Public domain remains public domain. 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
