Go to doctor, Rahul. ------ ... a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any ***derivative work*** under copyright law ... the Program or its ***derivative works*** ... ------ The above is from the GPL V2. And here's the GPL V3: ------ To modify a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an exact copy. The resulting work is called a modified version of the earlier work or a work based on the earlier work. ------ Translated from the Gu-NÜ-speak it means: "To modify a work means to create a derivative work". 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 gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
