(Let's recap Hyman's amusing nonsense from the other thread...) Ladies and Gentlemen, not only (static) linking creates a MODIFIED work (because linking "changes embedded values") but, gee, an EBCDIC copy of some text is not a copy verbatim of the same text in ASCII and is also a MODIFIED work according to Hyman!!!
Let's ignore the fact that WORK (expression) is clearly NOT modified so there just can't be a MODIFIED work... http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/17/usc_sec_17_00000101----000-.html ...and concentrate attention on the impact of Hyman's theory of MODIFIED work on spreading GNU philosophy: The thing is that http://www.gnu.org/philosophy site yields Stallman's bullshit articles in ASCII compatible utf-8 which is incompatible with EBCDIC. Now, given that Stallman's article license "Verbatim copying and distribution of this entire article is permitted in any medium without royalty provided this notice is preserved" clearly doesn't allow to MODIFY his work (only verbatim copying is permitted) how does one spread the GNU philosophy in the world of mainframes (EBCDIC world) without committing blatant copyright infringement of Stallman's work under Hyman's moronic theory of MODIFIED work?
