That is not the law, silly. The GPL can certainly be revoked under 203 and its "... provided the stated conditions are met" passage is utter nonsense in context given that failure to comply with "conditions" results in no grant of a license at all and so there is nothing to revoke. The GPL doesn't have any conditions precedent. It has only subsequent licensee's obligations (contract performance obligations) including unenforceable ones. 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
